Bayport Blue Point Library in the future


The Bayport-Blue Point Library is zooming into the future. It may be good and may be bad. For their children's programs registration is on September 12th at 10am, but instead of parents lining up outside of the library at 9am to get into a class - it is going to be done on-line from the comfort of your home.

Each child that you are registering must have their own library card to get into the classes. You cannot register them under your own card. This creates the problem of - what if you are registering two or more children? Who do you want to get the first choice of classes? But I guess everyone else registering is in the same boat. Also with all these people registering at the same time is the system going to crash?

At the library, in the children's department, there are instructions you can pick up on how to register for the children's classes. There are 13 steps to register - too much to list here, but here's a start. Go to the library homepage. On the left side click onto Children's Programs and select the classes you want. Hopefully it is easy to do.

This little inconvenience is well worth getting all these programs for your children at no cost. It is a waste not to take advantage of the Bayport-Blue Point Library. Get your children a library card today, go on-line and set up their password, so you can register for classes on the morning of September 12th.

One other note - the Bayport-Blue Point Library is starting to issue in October photo id library cards with a key chain option. This will be a good thing because your library card will be on your key chain.
