Murder, mayhem, and other misdeeds—oh my!

If you're obsessed with true crime stories and podcasts, you won't want to miss this virtual book club with BCPL resident true-crime fanatics! Join LaDonna to bond over the macabre and explore this gripping and disturbing genre where the truth is often stranger than fiction. We'll discuss a new book and case each month.

Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning.  —Mr. Rogers

Join us to help your little one start their early-learning adventure! Toddler Storytime for ages 0 to 2 is designed to help lay the foundation for lifelong learning through a combination of stories, songs, and play.

Children learn language by listening to others talk, and stories and songs help them learn how language sounds, add new words to their growing vocabulary, and begin to understand what words mean. Play helps children express themselves and put thoughts into words as they explore the world around them and build early social skills through interactions with other children.

Diversify your reading...

On the second Thursday of every month, we're bringing people together through the power of diverse reads. Together, we will explore trending or highly-respected books that spotlight #OwnVoices stories, underrepresented groups, and diverse experiences so that we can better understand ourselves and each other. Great stories guaranteed!

Psst... If you need help securing a copy of the book, please contact Haleigh.

Manga fans unite...

Dive into a world of action, adventure, and artistic awesomeness on the 3rd Monday of the month! Whether you're a seasoned otaku or new to the genre, come share your thoughts on the book of the month, discuss the series you're currently reading, and connect with other teens who love manga as much as you do.

Psst... All registered participants will receive a free copy of the book to keep!

Feed your curiosity...

Nonfiction is far from boring! Join us to explore fascinating true stories, eye-opening studies, and other thought-provoking reads on the third Thursday of the month. We'll keep things interesting with a variety of nonfiction writing, including biography and memoir, history, popular science, and current events.

Psst... Book copies will be provided to registered participants!

Today a reader, tomorrow a leader. –Margaret Fuller

Storytime's not just for our youngest patrons! Help your older child grow a love for reading as we explore literacy through stories, songs, games, and crafts you can enjoy as a family. We'll have occassional guest speakers, too. Due to the featured books and the skill level needed for some crafts and activities, this program is especially ideal for elementary-aged children, but all ages are welcome. We strive to create rich and fun experiences that build a love of books, libraries, and learning that will stay with children for a lifetime.

This series is designed with homeschool families in mind and may also provide an alternative for families unable to attend our weekly storytimes on Tuesdays.

Now you have something to look forward to on Mondays...

Book lovers unite on the 4th Monday of the month! Join us for a relaxing evening at the library to discuss our latest book selection chosen by the group. Each meetup will be a new experience and you never know what will happen—you might get to lead the discussion (but only if you want!), or a special guest might make an appearance!

BONUS ACTIVITIES INCLUDE:

• Readers receive a copy of the book to keep!
• Movie nights! If a movie adaptation of our selected titles exists, a film viewing will be scheduled a few days after our regular meeting.
