Readers, writers, books, movies, music, computers, people ...not necessarily in that order
Music
Looking for music you can't find on Clear Channel but afraid of infecting the family computer with malware or running afoul of the copyright cops? The library has a wealth of music for every age and stage and I gladly take advice on hot titles we need to add.
Movies
Blockbuster is great for quick access to recent popular titles but the library is cheaper and we have titles the media moguls don't bother to stock. Browse in person or improve your chance of getting new hot titles by putting them on hold. You can place a hold from home through your computer or by picking up the phone and calling us at 635-5631.
Television
From old standards and cult classics to recent HBO titles the library system has a great collection of titles that debuted on the small screen. Check the catalog! It's easy to place holds with a library card and a pin number and easier on your budget than the video store.
Books
Tech is great and I'm a media fiend myself but the written word still rules. Whether you love fantasy or just the facts we have most of the books you want to see and if we don't we'll be glad to borrow it from libraries outside our system or consider adding it to the collection.
Heroes
Voters! DEMOCRACY RULES! Time to put this country back on its feet.
Library users! They know how to stretch a dollar. With free books, movies, music, computer access and great programs the library continues to be one of the most cost effective uses of local funds.

About me: I've been working in libraries since 1978 but I'm relatively new to the YA job. I have however been working here at BPL (and working with our previous YA librarian) for over 17 years. These days I'm in charge of buying materials and planning programs for people in 6th grade and up and buying music and video for the adult collection...

lol, didn't they tell you? When they took her away to the nursery for the first time, apparently she was screaming and taking swings at the nurse giving her shots. :)
