Free Comic Book Day
Thursday, May 3rd, 2007Come to the library Saturday May 5th for Free Comic Book Day. The Belleville Library partnered with the NJ State Library and Comic Explosion for this event.
2007 Cherry Blossom Festival
Wednesday, April 11th, 2007Our little town of Belleville shares a (rather large) park with the city of Newark. In Branch Brook Park, there’s a huge amount of Japanese cherry blossom trees, and we here in Belleville consider ourselves the “Cherry Blossom Capital of America.”
Every year there is a spring celebration of the Cherry Blossoms in Branch Brook Park, with events spanning many days. The library used to be present at the Sunday Cherry Blossom Festival event every year, and I am pleased to announce that we will be returning to the Cherry Blossom Festival this year. Check out our table on Sunday April 22nd, and enjoy the cherry blossom trees! We will have a selection of library materials celebrating Japanese-American culture at our table, and I’ll be there the whole day to chat with you and enjoy the trees as well. I hope to see you there.
National Library Week.
Thursday, April 5th, 2007We have lots of great programs coming up here at the library for National Library Week (April 16-21).

I, Too, Sing America
Tuesday, March 27th, 2007Here’s a clip from our wildly successful first Open Mic Night. It’s the Langston Hughes poem “I, Too, Sing America”, and it’s performed by our security guard Cliff (who is unfortunaly leaving our staff - today is his last day).
Enjoy, and don’t forget Tuesday April 17th at 7pm will be our next open mic.
