Director's Corner

Contributed by John Owen, Director

The Maryland State Library for the Blind and Print Disabled building at 415 Park Avenue is now open, as of July 8, for visits by our patrons!

We welcome you for walk-in visits, book pickup and returns, computer use, and browsing in our patron area.  

The library building's hours are Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM.  At this time, the LBPD building will remain closed on the second Saturday of each month.

Like the Technology User Group scheduled for this Saturday, July 10, many programs will continue to meet by teleconference or other virtual formats only.  Please pay close attention to future programming or meeting announcements as to whether the scheduled program is virtual, in-person, or a hybrid program.

For our volunteers, please wait for information from our volunteer coordinator and staff working in your specific work area before assuming that shifts are scheduled.

As always, we will continue to mail items to you, as well as be available by phone (410-230-2443) and email (reference.desk@maryland.gov).   

We are happy to be able to resume in-person service!

Thank you.

John Owen
