MLK Jr Day of ServiceThe Bristol Public Library System will be closed Monday, January 16, in recognition of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Federal Holiday. The libraries will resume normal hours on Tuesday, January 17.

While we’re closed, you may still drop off items in our book drops or use the library catalogs to place holds, check your library card, or renew items. The library’s databases, downloadable audiobooks, and eBooks will also remain accessible with your library card while we’re closed. The library catalog and databases can be accessed through our website bristollib.com.

Don’t forget that Monday is also the King Day of Service — initiated by Congress in 1994 (H.R. 1933), this day seeks to transform the federal holiday honoring Dr. King into a national day of community service. Looking for a way to serve? The King Day of Service site lists many opportunities.
