Belleville Public Library

Located close to the heart of downtown, the Public Library is a bustling hub of resources, family-friendly activities, and beautiful exhibitions from a variety of artists. The third floor of the library is home to the John M Parrott Art Gallery, which is free to the public.

The attraction of the library goes far beyond book lending.

Children can enjoy Saturday Programs featuring stories and crafts or take part in Paws for Reading and read aloud to therapy dogs, giving kids the chance to improve their reading and communication skills.

Teens can join the Teen Book Club and enjoy great books, meet new people, and have fun sharing tea and cookies while discussing the book of the month.

Adults can enjoy a variety of activities, from playing video and board games at the Adult Gaming Club to networking with fellow writers at the BPL Writers’ Collective. If knitting is your thing, come out to the social knitting circle, Knitterati. Meet new friends, learn how to knit, or simply work on a knitting project surrounded by fellow craft enthusiasts.
