Be Our Valentine

Join us for an international, intergenerational, interactive Valentine’s celebration!

Meet new neighbors and learn about Valentine’s Day customs around the world. Children can make valentines for family members, classmates, or three different groups: veterans receiving medical care at the Jamaica Plain VA Hospital, seniors at the Beech Street Center, and recent immigrants receiving health care at MGH Chelsea.

Refreshments will be served. The event is co-sponsored by the Belmont Public Schools, The Friends of the Library, Belmont Against Racism, and the Human Rights Commission.

Wednesday January 18 from 7-8 PM We are a large and lively group who meet to read and talk about fiction from international authors. To see a list of books we’ve read in the past click here. This month’s book is Cloudstreet by Tim Winton. All are welcome, contact librarian Kylie Sparks at [email protected] for more information, help getting a copy of the book, or to get on the mailing list.

We are now doing a feasibility study to explore various options for renovating our current library or building a new library. Take our short survey and tell us what you think! Interested in knowing more details about what we are planning? Check out our building program here and our possible library options here.
