"I just want to express my appreciation for BAPL. I know that programs take a lot of planning and work on your part. I want you to know it is very much appreciated by my friends and me. We know that once a month we can come into a warm, friendly environment and lose ourselves in whatever you have planned. It is at least one hour a month that we can forget our daily struggles and just laugh, create, and enjoy each other's company." ~ Jean
Our Impact This Year
We have taken significant steps forward in several key areas:
- Expanded Digital Services: Despite financial constraints, we have continued to expand our digital resources and services, ensuring that our community members have access to e-books and magazines, virtual programs, and other valuable online resources.
- Diverse Programming: BAPL has consistently offered a diverse range of programs, including book clubs, educational workshops, author visits, and social opportunities for all ages and interests.
- Strategic Partnerships and Collaborations: Collaborating with local organizations and stakeholders, the Seneca District of Libraries, and state and national partners, has opened up creative ways to strengthen our connections and leverage additional resources.
