Hello, my name is Virginia “Ginger” Self and I am excited to be the new Director of the Bloomfield Public Library. I am looking forward to working with our Board of Trustees, Community Leaders and our Patrons to make our Public Library an integral part of our growing community. I am interested in what is happening in and around Perry County, what is important to our patrons and how we can improve our services to better reflect the community at large. Feel free to come in to explore our facilities, find out what services we offer, browse our collection and reconnect with your Public Library, I am looking forward to meeting you.
