    "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.
