Monday, January 20 is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, commemorating the life and legacy of Civil Rights Movement leader, activist, and minister Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. BCPL will be open that day. Honor his memory by reading one of the many books that discuss his aspirations and accomplishments. We will also be playing a popular movie about Martin Luther King’s life at 2:30pm on MLK Day.

It’s that time of the year where the sun isn’t up until after 7am and sets by the time 5 o’clock rolls around- clearly the perfect time of the year for hot drinks and quick reads.
