"I recently filmed a stand up comedy special at a public library... it was one of the best audiences I ever performed for, and the staff were among the best I ever worked with.

From this, birthed an idea: what if we a brought comedy tour to public libraries with proceeds going to each branch?

At this show, you'll see professional comedians who've been on Comedy Central, HBO, SiriusXM, and have their own hour specials."

It's that special time of year when we get to visit with Bloomfield students and talk to them about everything the Children's Library offers during our Summer Reading Program! Last week we had the pleasure of meeting Franklin School's third grade classes across the street on the Green. The students were excited to hear about our summer events, and were a great listening audience for some brand-new read-alouds. We can't wait for them to participate in our library activities once school is out! Bloomfield Public School District, New Jersey
