Library Services Temporarily Paused
In-person library services are temporarily paused until June 14 while we move our collections into the expanded portion of our new facility.
- Phone and printing service will be unavailable. We will answer email and Facebook inquiries as time allows.
- Digital resources remain available.
- Holds trapped for our patrons by other libraries during this time period will be stored at the Bridges Library System office and delivered when we reopen.
- DO NOT return items while we are closed.
We will distribute information on what to expect regarding our reopening as it gets closer. Thank you for being patient during this transition period!
Summer Library Challenge 2021: Tails & Tales is coming! Get ready to Read, Create and Engage with us again this summer! Register for the Daily Reading Challenge AND the Create & Engage Challenge to earn badges, tickets and prizes throughout the summer. The program will be virtual on Beanstack again this summer. Pre-registration is open and the program officially runs June 7-August 1. watertownpubliclibrary.beanstack.org.
Read the Watertown Daily Times online! The library has a new database that allows you home access to several local newspapers. Visit the library’s website, https://www.watertownpubliclibrary.org/newsbank/, to get started. All you need is a valid library card.
There is a new book out at our Storybook Trail at Brandt Quirk Park! Enjoy the beautiful weather and read “Otis” by Loren Long.
In-person programming resumes this summer! We are excited to offer programs for patrons of all ages. Some things you can expect to see in the coming months include weekly storytimes, teen programs and children’s programs; adult book club; and a storyteller. Programs will take place at Clark Park (except storytime, which will be at Brandt Quirk Park). Check out our Facebook page or online event calendar for details!
