Podcast
The Bloomfield Township Public Library presents the Distracted Librarians Podcast. We are your friendly neighborhood bookworms who can’t resist the siren call of movies, video games, music and everything else in the pop culture universe. Sit back, relax, and prepare to get delightfully distracted with us!
Read-Alouds
*Closed captioning provided for all live and recorded virtual programs.
- Virtual Read-Alouds with Emily
Settle in—it’s story time! Enjoy a softly read short story, poem, or essay read aloud by an Adult Services librarian. These short form “audiobooks” offer listeners the chance to enjoy a quick, accessible narrative that combines literature with ambient sounds and seasonally-relevant elements. A new read-aloud will be published every month on the our Virtual Read-Aloud Vimeo page, so keep an eye out for new titles!
