Off the Shelf: Library Closed, Fines Waived and Online Collection Available

By Sharon Saye on March 25, 2020 from Off the Shelf

The library remains closed until further notice because of the Coronavirus.  You can still return books in the book-drop.  Most books will automatically renew unless there is a hold on it.  We would prefer that you hold on to your checkouts until the library re-opens.  We are not charging fines currently.
 
Also, an important notice about tax forms, we took boxes of both state and federal forms to the Bridgeport Post Office to make sure patrons would be able to get them and pay their taxes. 
 
The online collections are often the secret gems of our services.  In this time of limited access, these resources offer information and entertainment and only require a library card.  Remember that when asked for your pin number, it is the last four digits of your library card number. 
 
Access Video on Demand and Just for Kids Access Video are two tremendous resources that library users may find just the thing during this emergency. Access Video on Demand has 38,737 titles from such companies as PBS, HBO, BBC, National Geographic, A&E, the History Channel and the Biography Channel.
 
There are documentaries and movies, Shakespeare plays and Broadway musicals, technology survival skills, and exercise videos.  They are available 24/7 and all you need is your library card barcode.
 
Just for Kids Access Video has over 6000 videos including everything from Sesame Street to Reading Rainbow to Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood and the Berenstain Bears.  Just enter your 10-digit library card number.
 
IndieFlix is a streaming movie service that offers access to pop culture favorites, box office hits, award-winning feature films, documentaries, and shorts.  Stingray Qello is the world’s largest collection of full-length concerts and music documentaries streamed on-demand to just about any digital device.  And Acorn TV brings world-class mysteries, dramas, and comedies from Britain and beyond to library patrons through a streaming video service to any Web-connected device. 
 
You can access almost all the library’s digital services from youseemore.com/bridgeport.  Across the bottom of the main page are the three most used services: WVDELI, RB Digital, and Hoopla.  There are also buttons down the right side of the page including Media, Homework, Resources, etc. that provides information on more of our 30 plus online services.  Information on how to access each is available on the website
