SPOOKTACULAR

Halloween is coming to the Bloomfield Township Public Library Youth Room! Everyone is welcome to participate in the Spooktacular extravaganza on Tuesday, October 28, from 6:30 until 8 p.m. Wear your costume and be prepared for Halloween fun at various stations around the youth room.  There will be stories to hear and games to play.

ELECTION DAY: Tuesday, November 4

It is surely obvious to all that election season is here! The Youth Room has many books about elections and government to keep our young patrons informed about the process. Election Day will be celebrated in the Youth Room with a special program featuring the various backgrounds of our patrons. Everyone is invited to come and decorate a flag representing his or her own unique identity. The flags we create will be displayed as part of a diversity exhibit in the Youth Room.
