BHML is committed to adapting to meet the needs of our community, and your support makes everything happen. Many on our peninsula need basic technology education, so we increased outreach to meet folks where they are–at the Community Center, St. Andrew’s Village, and local neighborhoods that we visit with the Community Resource Council. While free on-site Tech Help appointments have been available and consistently utilized for years, BHML’s Traveling Tech Help initiative is one of the many innovative programs your donations make possible. 

The library’s annual fundraising goal for 2024 is $140,000, funding ~40% BHML’s daily operations, collection development, and all-ages programming. As of press date, BHML has received $121,289.89 in individual donations. We thank all of our patrons and donors for their immense support–we are so close to achieving our goal!
