A charming watercolor-style illustration of a library. In the center, three toddlers are joyfully running and shaking yellow tambourines while a large, friendly-looking green dragon floats behind them. A small, furry brown monster with horns jumps excitedly in the background as a librarian claps along. The text at the top reads "TODDLER STAY & PLAY: Read, Roar & Dance!" and the bottom specifies "Thursday, February 12th at 10:30."

Roar into the New Year! 🐉 Join us Feb 12 @ 10:30 AM for a Lunar New Year Stay & Play. We’re reading, dancing, and scaring away the monster Nian with a library parade! Wear red for good luck. No registration needed.

See you at the library! 📚✨

The library started in 1885 with Adelaide Bissell, Mrs. Charles Gordan, Mrs. Truman, and 1st librarian Adele Noble.

This 1898 photo shows their legacy 13 years later! Can you guess which library room this is and what sits along this wall today? 🔎

A wooden library bookcase filled with new arrivals, arranged face-out. The covers show a wide mix of genres—mystery, romance, nonfiction, and literary fiction. Visible titles include works by John Grisham, Patricia Cornwell, Fannie Flagg, Tessa Bailey, and others. The books are neatly organized in four rows, bright covers contrasting with the warm wood of the shelves, giving the display a cozy, inviting feel.

📚 New books just hit the shelves at the Belmont Library.
Mystery, memoir, mischief—take your pick. Osman’s wit, Flagg’s heart, Bailey’s heat, and plenty more waiting for you between the stacks.

Come find your next read before someone else claims it.
