Friday Film Night, October 4 at 7:00 PM

Cary Grant: Handsome, elegant gentleman, and superb actor. Comedy, romance, action, suspense—Grant handles it all with incomparable grace and a wry grin. 
We’re kicking off our new Friday Films series on October 4 with one of Grant’s funniest and most famous films, “His Girl Friday.” 
The program will get underway at 7:00 pm with a short introduction by David Tisdale. Free “concession stand type” snacks will be provided.  

Loteria Scavenger Hunt, Hispanic Heritage Month, September 28 – October 12

We have hidden the Loteria card deck all over the first floor of the library.  Search, find, and win a small prize.  Children and caregivers are welcome to join us in this self-directed activity.  The scavenger hunt will be available from September 28 – October 12.

Library Crawl June 3rd

Saturday, June 3

Did you know that there are 30 libraries in the Clinton-Essex-Franklin Library System? Each
library reflects its community, so we are all unique, like snowflakes. On Saturday, June 3,
BNML and 24 partner libraries are taking part in a Library Crawl. This is your chance to see
what the neighbors are up to and win a prize while you’re at it.
Follow these easy steps and then be prepared to roam at will.

  1. Stop by the library and pick up a passport, or download it here.
  2. Visit as many participating libraries as you like.
  3. At each stop, ask the librarian to stamp or sign your passport.
  4. Visit three or more libraries during the day to be eligible to enter a drawing.
  5. Turn in your completed passport to any participating library.
  6. The draw will be held on June 24, and winners will be notified by phone and/or
    email.
    A list of libraries and the activities the are offering are listed here.
