Thanks to all our Summer Readers for making this another awesome year!! We had a blast with Jungle Jim at our Summer Reading Party yesterday!

The big day is almost here! Our Summer Reading Wrap-Up Party is less than a week away! Kids who’ve completed a bingo on their reading log are invited to join us on Tuesday, August 22nd at Town Hall (71 Mt. Vernon Street) at 3:00pm. We’ll have games, crafts, snacks, prizes, and an amazing performance with Jungle Jim!

We’ll also be drawing names for our raffle that’s been going on all summer! Each week we’ve had a game to play here in the library. If you won, you filled out a raffle card. We’ll be pulling names and announcing winners at the party! The raffle will start around 4:00pm. You don’t have to present to win, but people who are at the party will get first pick of our prizes. We’ve got books, school supplies, gift certificates, and even a couple Kindle Fires!

Make sure that you bring your reading log with you, because that’ll be your ticket at the door.

We can’t wait to celebrate all the reading you’ve done this summer at our Summer Reading Party!!

This weekend we had a full house for our Junior Builders program! Led by Rob Leduc, the children and their grown-ups used hammers, nails, and pegs to build their very own wooden trucks!

Did you know it's R.O.A.R's 25th anniversary this Summer?? To celebrate we're hiding 25 silver tickets in books around the Children's Room throughout the Summer (Starting July 5th). If you find one, grab a Children's Librarian to claim your prize!!! Don't know about R.O.A.R.?? Stop by the Children's Room and we'll fill you in!

Just because school’s out, it doesn’t mean we have to take a break from all the awesome science, technology, engineering, art, and math programs we do here at the library! In fact, we’ve got a ton of awesome STEAM-related programs planned for these scorching hot months!
