A VIEW INTO BELMONT
June 2024
Hello Belmont!
Congratulations to Jocelyn R. for correctly guessing May’s mystery door as the front door of the Everett C. Benton Library. It’s no surprise that Jocelyn is familiar with libraries around town as she worked at the Butler School Library for 21 years and currently serves on the Board of the Benton Library. The library became an independent community library when Belmont consolidated their branches in 2011. The Benton Library is happy to have its doors open again on Wednesdays 2-7pm, Fridays 10am to noon and the first Friday of the month from 5:00-7:00pm.
