New Library of Things Additions!
We are excited to share even more new additions to the Library of Things collection! The Belmont Public Library now has laptops, Dell and Chromebook chargers available for checkout within the library, as well as some fun crafting options for home use – yarn ball winder, tracer projector and a 58 piece paper punch set.
Place a hold on any of these items by clicking on the above links.
The fine print:
- Belmont residency is required to place a hold on any Belmont Library of Things items.
- Non-Belmont residents are able to check out any items on a walk-in basis. If it’s available when you’re in the library, it’s yours to check out!
- All Library of Things items must be returned to Belmont Public Library.
- Some fines still apply to Library of Things items.

Revisions to Service – Mask Mandate Lifted
Updated 3/8/2022
Dear Belmont Public Library patrons,
At the March 7th meetings, the Belmont Board of Health in conjunction with the Belmont Select Board lifted the town wide indoor mask mandate effective March 8, 2022. In their decision the Board of Health cited, among other factors, reduced transmission rates, high vaccination status, and wider availability of testing.
Please find the full announcement below and remember that the library remains a mask friendly building where masks are recommended and appreciated for any unvaccinated individuals.
Kind regards,
Peter J. Struzziero
Library Director
