Volunteers & Events

 First of all, we wanted to mention a special program at the library this weekend.  Dr. Annette Wszelaki from the University of Tennessee will be here to talk about growing your own vegetables in containers. You'll be amazed at how much you can grow in a small space!  The program is Sunday, May 15 at 3 pm and it's free to the public.  For a bit more information (and a link to the wonderful "Homegrown Tomatoes" song) click on the link below.

The new Teen Club at Bristol Public Library needs volunteers!  Under the direction of the dynamic Pam Neal, the club has expanded.  Ms. Neal has an exciting summer program planned, and volunteers would be welcome.  If you think you'd be interested, please pick up a volunteer application at library.

Teen and Children's Summer Reading Clubs will be starting soon!  Information will be available in the Children's Library and in the Teen area.

"I don't know which I like better-- books or doughnuts!"

  Meanwhile, the Nevermore Bookclub meets every Tuesday at 11 am in the Frances Kegley Conference Room.  Doughnuts are provided by the Blackbird bakery!  Come and tell us what you're reading!

Did Somebody Say Doughnuts??!

Melon and friend are very excited about the new book club at Main! 

Especially Melon, since he heard that Blackbird Bakery doughnuts are involved.

“The Nevermore Book Club” will meet every Tuesday at the Bristol Public Library in the Frances E. Kegley Conference Room from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. beginning Tuesday, July 20th.

The book club will be hosted by BPL Executive Director, Jud Barry. "This informal, bring your lunch discussion will highlight new additions to our collection," says Barry. "But the main idea is just to get together and talk about books and reading for the fun of it. And doughnuts."

Blackbird Bakery, of downtown Bristol, is partnering with the library to promote reading and book discussion.  They will be providing desserts. The library will provide free coffee and cold drinks are available in the gift shop for $1. No registration is required.

And did we mention doughnuts from  Blackbird Bakery?
