Event Details

Join Bloomfield Public Library for it's second "BookCon"...a book event for youth of all ages!

What is BookCon?
The Bloomfield Public Library Book Conference - or "BookCon" - is a chance for kids, tweens and teens to select and go home with FREE books of all kinds (and a variety of extra goodies!):  
  • Advanced Read Copies of chapter books and graphics from publishers
  • Gently used books and graphics 
  • Bookmarks, buttons, bags, and more!
How do I participate?
Kids/Teens just visit the in-person BookCon event during one of the two timeframes (4-5:30 PM or 6-8 PM), and then they can select free things to take home...it's as easy as that! Our event will take place offsite at 330 Park Avenue in Bloomfield (The Great Room in the Senior Services area, Room A/128).

PLEASE NOTE: This event is for youth - only kids and teens will be allowed to select books to take home! :) Adults/Teachers may select books ONLY in the final hour from 7-8 PM.
