In addition to providing books and DVDs for checkout, BPL has offered innovative virtual programs during the COVID-19 pandemic such as Bards & Brews, Read-In for Justice, Wellness Wednesdays, and online story times. Library Giving Day (#LibraryGivingDay) started as an idea generated by the Seattle Public Library Foundation and piloted in 2019. The concept was to create a national day of giving that public libraries would rally around and that the public would embrace.As we know, public libraries are known for books and research materials, but they also offer many programs that promote lifelong learning, connect patrons to technology, and advance our knowledge.#LibraryGivingDay aims to encourage people who depend on and enjoy public libraries to donate to their individual library system. In turn, that support will go toward the incredible programs, services and materials provided by local libraries all over the country. On Wednesday, April 7, 2021, join the movement and support the Birmingham Public Library. www.cobpl/about/contributionsAs part of BPL's Library Giving Day activities, the Central Library downtown will have Food Trucks allowing patrons to buy meals and support BPL at the same time Wednesday, April 7, and the BPL Friends Bookstore will have a special sale. #LibraryGivingDay FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT BPL For additional information about the programs and services of the Birmingham Public Library, visit our website at www.cobpl.org and be sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter @BPL.
