How has the Bradford Area Public Library impacted your life?

Staff and board members want to know and are asking patrons to write a short essay.

“The essay can cover how the Bradford Area Public Library has affected you or your child’s life, what the library offers to this community, or a personal experience you had in the library that improved or influenced your life,” library officials said.

The essay should be between 250 to 350 words and handed in at the front desk of the library no later than Oct. 14. Gift certificates will be awarded to the top two winners.

Questions should be directed to director@bradfordlibrary.org.
