Libraries build community: One book one Belmont

We recently co-sponsored the Evening with Greg Mortenson. This was the final event in One Book One Belmont, the library's first community-wide reading program. It was a great success.

The 1100 attendees were all moved by his stories of building schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Watch the video to find out why. Click below or watch a larger version in another window.

The need for a new library

It's all about space. The current main library building is simply too small to offer all the services that Belmont demands. Our circulation figures continue to be among the highest in the Commonwealth. Read more about the need and the benefits of a new building.

Belmont is now #8 on the grant waiting list. Our grant lis likely to be increased by 15%, to $5.3 million. We're waiting for the legislature to authorize the funds.
