Coming Soon: Patron ID Cards!

In the very near future, the library will be offering patron ID cards for you to present when you check out items. This means you will no longer have to tell us your name when you come to the desk. Instead, you will simply present your BHML card, we'll scan the barcode on the back of it, and then check out your books or videos. We hope this will eliminate some of your frustration if you have a name that's difficult to spell. Plus, it will speed up your check-out time!

You will be expected, however, to have your card with you every time you want to check something out. If you lose your card and need a replacement, there will be a fee. More detailed information will be available once we are ready to distribute the cards. Check the newspaper in the coming weeks.

We are very excited to offer this improved service to you and would like to thank the United Methodist Church for their support. Their donation to the library makes this service possible!
