This is my hometown library, although comparably smaller to neighboring towns', it has everything for me, including but not limited to the access to various books, e-books, and audiobooks. The tidy yet organized study aisle provides me an adequately quiet space for reading and learning. Hope it can expand the size in near future since it was proposed before but failed to do so due to insufficient fund.

An excellent library: good staff and collection. But the building is disgracefully small. Compare it to libraries in surrounding towns, e.g. Arlington , Lexington, Watertown. You wouldn't want to spend hours working on a project at the Belmont library. It's cramped and the computers are so close together you feel like you're in a sweat shop.

Are Belmont early newspapers avilable on line?

Hi Barbara, yes! A few years ago BPL had a CPA grant to digitize those early papers. I will double check that you can access themby remotely thru our website. I just checked and some you can access from home & some only in the library. Go to the Local History section on the website to see all that you have access to.

Is the Belmont library open for inside browsing?

Not yet.

I am a Cambridge resident, but the Cambridge libraries are closed. Can I pick up books from the Minuteman system at the Belmont Library?

Jean Leventhal | Aug 26, 2021
Lauren Pfendner | Aug 26, 2021

Yes, you definitely can! You just need to have your pickup location listed as Belmont instead of Cambridge. For any Cambridge items currently on hold, your best bet would be to cancel those holds and re-request, making sure that Belmont is listed as your pickup location.

is there a box to put cds in on the weekend?

Yes. You can return all items right now (except Library of Things items), to the outside bins on the pool-side end of the building.
