Curbside Delivery Starts Wednesday, May 27th
Yes, our curbside delivery will start next week! We’ll be open from 10:00-3:00 on Wednesday and Friday, May 27th and 29th, and thereafter on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to take orders for books, DVDs, and other items. You can call in your request at 860-379-7235 or send an email to staff@beekleylibrary.org. We’ll schedule a pick-up time for later that day and have it waiting for you outside the back door.
In the meantime you can continue to return everything you have from the library except interlibrary loans or items from other libraries. The more you return, the more we’ll have ready to circulate. You’ll be able to catch up on favorite authors and films, too – we’ve been busy buying new books and DVDs while the library was closed.
And, remember, there’s no need to worry about fines. We went fine-free earlier this year, so there will be no charge for anything you bring back
What about the seed library? We’ll be taking orders for seeds at the same time as we do for books and will have more details on that soon.
Our virtual story times and book club will continue to be offered for children and adults and programs will be available on our new YouTube channel through the summer.
If you have any questions or would like more information, please let us know by phone or email. We can’t wait to hear from you!

The Beekley Book Club will meet again on Wednesday, June 17th at 7:00 pm. We will be discussing The Overstory, winner of the 2019 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction, is a sweeping, impassioned work of activism and resistance that is also a stunning evocation of―and paean to―the natural world. From the roots to the crown and back to the seeds, Richard Powers’s twelfth novel unfolds in concentric rings of interlocking fables that range from antebellum New York to the late twentieth-century Timber Wars of the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
The Beekley Weekly Challenge

Challenge #3: : Show Us Your Masks!
Beginning April 20, Connecticut residents have been required to wear a cloth face covering in public spaces if we cannot maintain a safe social distance.
For some, this was a challenge in itself. For others, this presented an opportunity to be creative, whimsical, or to make some kind of statement. Myles & Norah, Andrea’s grandchildren, each decided to display one of their favorite creatures on their masks:
In this week’s challenge, we invite you to share a photo of yourself wearing your personal protective mask.
If you haven’t already created one and would like to, you can find patterns and video instructions from the Waterbury Republican-American: https://www.rep-am.com/life-arts/2020/04/09/make-your-own-mask/.
Please submit your photo to us (staff@beekleylibrary.org). We will post all submissions on our website and the library Board & Staff will vote on the 5 best masks. Winners will be awarded a free coffee (or tea or hot chocolate) and a biscotti when the library reopens.
