Bellevue Public Library Adult Displays for March

Every month there are special adult displays at BPL– some are new displays and some are new books in ongoing displays. These displays are located on the black tower, on the front and back of the arch going into the adult reading area, on a bookshelf at the far end of the circulation desk, and at the information/reference desk area.. All titles are available for check-out.

Often the displays are based on special events, programs or themes. Sometimes the display topics are suggested by staff, but we also welcome suggestions from patrons!

DIY Forever: Sugar Scrubs

In December we made sugar scrubs at our DIY Forever event.  They smell great, feel good on your skin when you use them, makes your skin feel amazing after using them, and make/made brilliant gifts!  We had a ton of fun making them and they are super easy to put together yourself.  In fact, you probably have most, if not all, of the materials you will need to make them!  So, check out how by clicking 'read more' and get to making!  You'll be glad you did!

November PubQuiz - Movie Edition!
