Christmas arrived at the library with the Woman’s Club of Bridgeport decorating the entryways with bright seasonal trees.  The front tree is done in beautiful golds and crystals, and the one for the children’s section is aptly full of fanciful decorations.  This annual donation to the community and its library is much appreciated by patrons and staff for all their hard work in creating such delightful holiday splendor.

 

Our holiday concert series continued earlier this month with wonderful performances by the Bridgeport High School Jazz Band, and the Bridgeport Orchestra.  Many thanks to all the talented young adults and their dedicated leaders, Chris Hayslette and Tricia Price.

 

Also, we want to express our great appreciation to the employees of the City of Bridgeport for the building’s bright lighting.  Without the help of all these generous people, the library would still be bright, but not quite so sparkly this holiday season.  Thank you again from the staff for all your hard work.

 

The library staff also deserves appreciation for all the work they put in every day and all the challenges they constantly face.  They all deserve a round of applause.
