On Friday, March 14, the White House issued Executive Order 14238 that calls for the elimination of the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) "to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law."

On Monday, March 31, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) put all of its approximately 75-employee workforce on paid administrative leave.

We are starting to receive questions about what this means for the Bedford Public Library.  To find more information, please see our full statement.

Join the Friends of the Bedford Public Library for Game Club! All adults are welcome for playing board games and/or card games each month. A variety of games will be provided, but you are welcome to bring a favorite to share. No experience necessary, just come and have fun! 

Registration required for attendance.  Please visit the library's online calendar to sign up. Come once or to all (See Library Calendar for future dates). Light refreshments will be provided.
