Bloomfield Library Shelves Fuller Thanks to Recent Donations

The Bloomfield Public Library Children’s Department announced the arrival of 46 new children’s titles in March.

According to an announcement on the library's Facebook page, the additions to the children's department were made possible by the generous donations of community members.

The “Clark Avenue Crew” raised $355 last summer for the Children’s Library, which went to 37 new books. Demarest Elementary School donated five popular titles; and a donation from Dorothy and David Johnson, in memory of former Children’s Department staff member Jean Bryce Thompson, allowed us to replace six fresh copies of much-loved classics that were worn beyond repair.

The library said that the staff are grateful for the kindness of these donors and are excited to make so many new books available to the children of Bloomfield. The books are ready and waiting at the library. 

The titles are as follows.
