Director's Corner: Our New Name!

 

Director's Corner: Library Update, Mail

Contributed by John Owen, Director

Hello to all of our patrons, families, and partners,

On October 1, 2020, our library will change its name to the Maryland State Library for the Blind and Print Disabled (LBPD).  The name change is the result of legislation passed in the General Assembly earlier this year to help us better reflect the patrons we serve.  We'll be sharing more information about the name change in the month of October, but we wanted to let you know some of the changes that are in effect even now or over the next week.  

Facebook:  You can access our page at https://www.facebook.com/MDLBPD and use the handle @MDLBPD when referring to us.  This change has been made.

Twitter:  You can access our page at https://twitter.com/MDLBPD  and use the handle  @MDLBPD when referring to us.  This change has been made.

Blog:  You can access our blog at  https://mdlbpd.blogspot.com/ .  This change has been made. 

Listserv:  After October 1, messages from this listserv will be sent from lbpd@lists.sailor.lib.md.us. 

Website:  Continue to use lbph.maryland.gov to get the library's website.  While the main page URL for the website will change on or around October 1, the shorter URL  lbph.maryland.gov will continue to redirect to that main page.

Contacting us by phone or email remains the same:

Our name is changing but our mission is still excellent customer service and creative services to our patrons. 

Thank you.
