We still have a supply of COVID test kits in stock.   They come with 2 tests in each box and are available in the hallway of the library.

As in the past, please call the library at 937-448-2612 to request a kit.

Bradford Public Library will be a distribution site for FREE Covid at-home test kits starting Monday, March 29, 2021. These test kits have been purchased by the state of Ohio and sent to libraries across the state willing to participate. Tests are taken in your home under the supervision of an e-med proctor. An internet accessible device with a camera and microphone are needed.  Test results are available in 15 minutes with these kits. To obtain your FREE test kit:

  1. Patron should download the Navica app from the Google Play App Store or Apple App store and create an account. If you have children in your home you can create a separate account for each child.

  5. Take the test kit home and follow the directions to star t your e-med appointment. A proctor will walk you through the test administration then return 15 minutes later to record the results. If you have a positive test result, they will notify the health department for you to report the case.
