"Love Your Library" Talent Show - Feb. 18th 

 There are many exciting activities going on at the libraries in Woodville and Baldwin.  This year the Woodville Library will be expanding into previously unused space in their building.  After the remodeling is completed the library will have a new comfortable reading area and a new meeting room area.  The Baldwin Library is working to complete the historical collection of the Baldwin Bulletin to preserve local history for the community.

As part of the ongoing efforts to meet the needs of the Baldwin-Woodville area, the Woodville Friends of the Library and Baldwin Friends of the Library will be sponsoring a Talent Show on Saturday, February 18^th at 7:00 in the evening at the B-W Performing Arts Center to help raise money for these library projects.

You can help by becoming a sponsor.  Your sponsorship will help defray the cost of putting on the show, and help us keep the tickets affordable for families.  It will also help us in raising money for library projects.  In exchange for your sponsorship we will provide advertising as part of the Friend’s Talent Show.  We will provide you with a tax-deductible receipt.

Baldwin Library Changed Hours Dec 1^st

 

In order to be even more convenient for our users, the library has rearranged the hours we are open.  In response to public request over the years, we will open earlier on Mondays and Fridays, stay open a little longer those days, and open for an additional hour on Saturdays.  We will open a bit later and close a bit earlier on Wednesdays, typically our slowest day.  Tuesdays and Thursdays will remain the same.  The change might not mean enough more open hours at certain times for some people, but statewide government budget constraints do not allow us to significantly increase the overall hours we are open, only to rearrange them.  We hope area residents will find the new hours work well for their continued enjoyment of all the services the library has to offer. 

The following hours began on Thursday, Dec. 1^st:

Monday:           11-6

Tuesday:           10-8

Wednesday:     11-6

Thursday:         10-8  

Friday:              11-6

Saturday:           9-1

Sunday:            Closed
