Upcoming Events

Roll the dice together...

Dungeons and Dragons is now fun for the whole family! Join us for an epic adventure filled with magic, monsters, and endless fun. The whole family can learn and enjoy a fun game together as you tackle challenges and engage your imaginations at this family-friendly D&D meetup.

Psst... Playing tabletop role-playing games helps kids learn important social and emotional skills like empathy, tolerance, problem-solving, teamwork, leadership, sharing, critical thinking, communication, creativity, and MORE! Parents may need to assist younger children with reading, addition, and subtraction—but this will be a fun way for kiddos to learn and practice those skills!

Join other LEGO enthusiasts as we explore our creativity...

Show off your LEGO-building skills at the library as you build something amazing together or engineer your own project. We'll provide the LEGO bricks—you provide the imagination!

Hang out, play, and explore all that the library has to offer!

At Teen Lounge, your experience is in YOUR hands. Drop in when you like, and choose whichever activity suits your mood. Play on our gaming laptops and consoles, explore the world of virtual reality, create your own art projects, tinker with a variety of technology and engineering tools, get your game on with an assortment of board and card games, and share the experience with your friends. Plus, enjoy free refreshments!

DID YOU KNOW? Every 2 seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood...

Blood donors help save the lives of people of all ages every day, including burn victims, heart surgery and cancer patients, trauma victims, and many others. BCPL is partnering with the American Red Cross to provide a safe, relaxing, and convenient location to donate blood. You can make a difference by giving a small part of your day to join us. Whatever your blood type may be, all types are valuable and can help save lives.

For ages 16 and up.
Donors under the age of 17 must have a signed parental consent form to participate. Donors ages 16 or 17 MUST show a form of ID that includes their birthdate.

Please bring your donor card, driver's license, or two other forms of identification. Be prepared to list all of the over-the-counter and prescription medications you are currently taking.

Additional tips for the day of your donation:

• Drink an extra 16 oz. of water (or other nonalcoholic drink) before your appointment.
• Eat a healthy meal, avoiding fatty foods like hamburgers, fries, or ice cream.
• Wear a shirt with sleeves that you can roll up above your elbows.
• Let us know if you have a preferred arm or particular vein that has been used successfully in the past to draw blood.
• Relax, listen to music, talk to other donors, or read while you donate.

For more information on the requirements for giving blood, please visit redcrossblood.org.

Exciting art-ventures for all...

Dive in for a creative evening of art appreciation and exploration! Using a variety of mediums, create a different work of art at each monthly session—from painting and sculpture to mixed media and beyond. Whether you enjoy making an awesomely creative DIY project or prefer to make a fun, functional art piece, there will be something for every artist to enjoy. Expect things to get a bit messy, so dress accordingly and prepare to unleash your creativity in a fun, supportive environment.

Psst... This is a great event for family bonding or for getting creative with friends, providing a free space where you can try something new together without worrying about the cleanup. It's about the process, not the product (though we think the projects are pretty neat!).
