Happy 20th Birthday to Belmont Library! 🎉
From its early days under construction to the vibrant community space it is today, this library has spent two decades inspiring curiosity, connection and lifelong learning. Here’s to 20 years of serving Belmont, and many more to come!
Starting today, you can check out a Book Club in a Bag! 📚
As part of our Pitch-It initiative for staff, Greta and Dorian developed the idea to compile popular titles into one easy-to-grab kit, making your next book club a breeze.
Inside the bag, you'll find everything your book club needs to get started, including:
- 10 copies of the same title (including two large text copies)
- A quick start guide to help you begin
- A discussion guide with questions to get the conversation going
