Bethany Library (Inactive) @BethanyLibrary

Congratulations to everyone graduating this Friday! God’s richest blessings on your futures - and if you’re sticking around the area, don’t forget that alumni can still use the BLC Library! 😉 Today’s Throwback Thursday photos feature Bethany graduates from 1977, 1996, and 1978.

Stressed? Take a break! Coloring materials are now at the back of the library on the main floor. Don't have time to hang out here? Grab a coloring bookmark from the table and check out markers, colored pencils, or crayons at the front desk for a project you can do anywhere.

Short days call for short books! Stop by the library and check out a quick read for Thanksgiving break. We close early on Wednesday (5 PM) and will remain closed until Sunday evening (5:30 PM). You can still access all of our e-resources, including live chat with a librarian!

BLC librarian Emily's review: "It's well-researched but still engaging. It definitely doesn't sugarcoat the world's attention crisis, and at times that was overwhelming - but Hari does explore solutions throughout the book that I think have the potential to be very powerful!"
