News & Updates 

Mary Carter came on full-time at the end of July, she comes to us from the Valente Branch of the Cambridge Public Library.  We are delighted to have her in Belmont.  Welcome, Mary!

"The Little Free Library...It's coming..."

In an effort to improve patron self-navigation and co-location, the staff at the Belmont Public Library rearranged a few things recently:  

• 900s (History) are now located in the East Wing with the rest of the non-fiction
• Back issues of magazines are in the Reading Room, with the back issues of newspapers
• Biographies moved across the room (near the Large Print collection)

If you need assistance finding anything, please ask a Reference Librarian.  

During the summer through August, the Children's Room is open until 8:00 PM on Tuesdays.

Selected Programs

The series continues with more popcorn, more icy treats, and as always, support from the Friends of the Belmont Public Library.  Come watch two more Marvel movies in August, and a classic matinee to wrap up the series. Come beat the heat in the Assembly Room:
