Everything Book related......as we get it!
We're Back!
School's started and it's a brand new year so why not make a New Year's Resolution to read for pleasure and challenge your family and friends to a 'Read Off! The Belvo Library is up and running so make a stop and see the new books we have for you. If you're not already members, definitely join your local public library. Take time to talk to each other about books/magazines/graphic novels to read and find out what we've put on as recommended books on the Belvedere Reads lists.
