The Bedford Free Public Library will be closed through Thursday, July 16, because of a burst pipe in our HVAC unit that was discovered early Monday morning and caused quite a bit of flooding.
Repairs are ongoing and the staff hopes to re-open the library on Friday, July 17.
Please return any library items in the bookdrop. The staff will backdate all returns to Monday July 13th – the first day we were closed.
If you see items on your account that you know you returned please be patient – we will get everything checked in when staff are allowed to return to work.
If you have holds waiting for pickup – don’t worry they will be waiting for you when we return.
Museum passes will not be available until we can re-open.
There will be no Storytime on Wednesday July 15th.
