Bast-off with a Good Book this Summer!

Part of this year's summer reading program involves reading a book of your choice about Space ... it can be about the Moon, Sun, Stars, Space Travel .... ANYTHING related to the theme: STARSHIP ADVENTURE! Then you fill out a brief book report form (available at the library or online) and create a work of art for our end-of-summer exhibit on August 15th!

Fun with the Cow Lady!

Everyone had a great time at our special event last week, making cow puppets with author Carol Weis!

Come Meet the Cow Lady!

This Thursday, in place of our regularly-scheduled afternoon stortytime, a special guest will be visiting the Town Hall. Carol Weis aka The Cow Lady, an author from Western MA, will be here to share her picture book with us at 1:30!

Carol will have copies of her book available for purchase and signing, at the event, and will lead the kids in a related activity after reading the story.
