Comic author/illustrator Nathan Hale is visiting Bloomfield on June 1st! (6:00 PM, Carmen Arace School Auditorium)

Bloomfield Public Library is excited to announce that – with the generous support of Duncaster Retirement Community – we are bringing Comic Author/Illustrator Nathan Hale to Bloomfield! Perhaps best known for his graphic series Nathan Hale’s Hazardous Tales (based on historic U.S. events), he will do a series of closed presentations in our schools followed by an evening presentation open to anyone in the public! The evening presentation will be at Carmen Arace School (390 Park Ave., Bloomfield) in the auditorium. Time-allowing, the author will gladly sign personal copies of his books that you bring to the event. Advance registration for this special event is appreciated.
For all ages. Read more >

You can create individual accounts or create a series of linked accounts as a family – whatever works best for you! Then, just log book titles all summer long.
