I will be returning to Bermuda in February with friends for a 5 week stay and we would like to know if visitors can obtain a library pass for the period we are on the island?
I love the Bermuda Library and always visit it when I’m in Bermuda.
The categories for visitor membership are discribed below.
TEMPORARY MEMBERSHIP
ELIGIBILITY
Persons who are in Bermuda for a minimum of 28 days after sign-up.
The applicant will be given a temporary one-month membership from the date of application. Depending on how long the applicant will be here, it is important that the applicant sign up as soon as they arrive.
TOURISTS
Documents required
Their country of origin passport, not any other form of overseas I.D., along with a local address. The temporary member applicant must produce an official letter from their hotel or guesthouse confirming their length of stay. If the applicant is residing at a private home he/she must bring a letter from the host which should include the host’s address and telephone number.
Documents to verify the length of stay can also include a plane ticket or hotel reservation.
REPEAT VISITOR
ELIGIBILITY
Persons who are resident in Bermuda for 4 weeks total each year.
Documents Required
Repeat Visitors must similarly produce an overseas passport, as well as an official letter from their hotel or guesthouse confirming their length of stay. If the repeat visitor is residing at a private home they must provide a letter from the host of the private home which should include the host’s address and telephone number. This must be done annually.
LIBRARY LOAN PERIOD
The loan period may be reduced or further loans restricted when the departure date is imminent.
My great-grandfather was posted to Bermuda as a British army surgeon in 1889. He lived, with his wife and family, at Cedar Park and a diary written by his 15 yr old daughter seems to suggest that the hospital was nearby. I have tried to find information on this, but so far have failed. Was there a property called Cedar Park? If so, does it still exist? Wikipaedia refers to “the hidden Cedar Park” What does this mean?
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
