10 DAYS LEFT TO MAKE A DIFFERNCE! 

Amazing work by this community. 

To date, we have collected OVER 200 pairs of kid's shoes!! 

 Please consider so continue to go through your child's gently worn shoes for donation. The bin is located by the circulation desk.

Thank you for your continued support of this amazing cause!

Need a car seat? The Bridgewater Fire Department is here to help!

The department has a supply of free car seats—from infant seats to boosters—for those in need. Even if you don't think you qualify, please reach out to them. If a car seat is available, they will arrange to have it professionally installed for you. If they're out of stock, they can still point you toward other resources.

In addition to providing car seats, the department also offers a service to inspect and install car seats that you already own, free of charge.
