The Bristol Public Library hosted a luncheon for the Bristol Tennessee and Bristol Virginia city councils on Wednesday to update them on the operation of the library this past year.
Our public library is a great community asset and is widely used. Last year 319,000 patrons entered the library with 383,000 items checked out.
The summer reading program was a big hit with 3,000 children and 1,000 adults involved in the six week program. The literacy academy is also based at the library with over 800 people receiving assistance with their GED preparation and another 1,000 taking computer classes.
The Bristol Public Library - another great reason to live in Bristol.
