Thomas Jefferson said, "Information is the currency of Democracy". The age we live in, now more than ever is about information and access to it. The Bristol Library, though small and cozy, has all the same access to information as any library in our region. Through OWWL On-line automated circulation system you can have any book, audio book on cassette, CD or Playaway (think MP3 Player), VHS, DVD, or magazine sent to the Bristol Library from any library in the four county area of Ontario, Wayne, Wyoming or Livingston county, usually in just a few days, and at no cost to you. If you have a particular question you need an answer to, we can get that for you too. Stop in for a tutorial on using the OWWL system any time we are open. It's fast, easy and free.

This fall we will be holding Story Time on the first and third Tuesday mornings for pre-school children, followed with a craft and snack.

Special thanks go to all those who volunteered their time this year to the library. We are able to offer so much to our community because of generous donations of time, skills and talents from our volunteers. Here is a sampling of some of the diverse help given: woodworking, preschool programs, cleaning, bake sales, bottle drive donations, books, gardening, miniature horses, technology support, geocaching programs, quilting, knitting and so much more. Thank you again for supporting your library.

The library is also available as a site for tutoring sessions, book talk groups, etc.

The Bristol Library will be sending out the annual report to the community, and along with that asking for your donation to the library. Your support is crucial to the services your library can provide to you. Please support your library!
