• CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) INFORMATION

    WHAT YOU SHOULD DO:
    • STAY INFORMED - The CDC is updating its website daily with the latest information and advice for the public.  You can access their website by clicking here: www.cdc.gov/ncov
    • REMEMBER TO TAKE EVERYDAY PREVENTIVE ACTIONS that are always recommended to prevent the spread of respiratory viruses.
               >>     Avoid close contact with sick people.
               >>     While sick, limit contact with others as much as possible.
               >>     Stay home if you are sick.
               >>     Cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze. 
               >>     Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands;
                        germs spread this way.
               >>     Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that may be contaminated with germs.
               >>     Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. 
               >>     If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub with at least 60% alcohol.
    • IF YOU FEEL SICK with fever, cough or difficulty breathing, and have traveled to any other place where cases of the coronavirus have been confirmed, or have been in close contact with someone with COVID-19 in the 14 days before you began to feel sick, seek medical care.  Before you go to a doctor's office or emergency room, call ahead and tell them about your recent travel and your symptoms.

TEEN ZOOM Book Talk with Mr. Austin
 
Do you love to read? Do you love to talk? I love to do both, and I’m looking to start up a ZOOM book club this Summer at Bridgeview Public Library!

This club will be for our patrons ages (12-14yrs) covering grades (6-8 grade).

BUT….I would like to know what YOU would like to read & discuss!
 Go to the teen page under THINGS TO DO tab. I will have books listed that have peaked my interest, but I want YOU to choose the book that has peaked your interest! Once you’ve chosen a book or two, shoot me an email at apierce@bridgeviewlibrary.org and let me know your choices!

Once I have enough feedback, I’ll email interested patrons the selected book(s) and book club dates.

Thanks for your feedback!
Mr. Austin @ Youth Services
