MILFORD — Milford Public Library will be hosting various activities during the next week.

Julie Gunden is our latest Adult Reading Club winner. There are just two weeks left of our Adult Reading Club. Keep reading. The last day for Adult Reading Club is March 31. The Grand prize will be awarded April 1.

Book Bundles Available in Children’s Department

No time to browse the book shelves in search of some great books? Need several books on the same subject? Try checking out a Book Bundle. A Book Bundle is a black mesh bag with 4 or 5 books in it on the same subject. This makes it quick and easy to pick up books in a hurry. We have several bundles available: Spring, Mo Willems books, Dinosaurs, Princesses and Dogs. Book bundles check out for three weeks just like regular books and include picture books, easy readers and easy nonfiction. Look for the book bundles display in the Children’s room when you visit the library.

Adult Craft Night

Local crafter, Linda Greene, will show us how to make a 5-inch by 8-inch muffin basket at 6:30 p.m. Monday, March 14. The class size is limited to eight people so sign up today. The fee for the basket is $8. If there is a lot of interest, we may add a second class. The sign up sheet is available at the adult circulation desk. Pay at the time of registration. Make checks payable to Linda Greene.

Afternoon Knitting Club

Knitting Club meets from 1:30-3:30 p.m. Friday, March 18, in the teen area of the library. Bring a knitting project and get help from experienced knitters. Learn how to knit or continue working on a current project.

Marshmallow Madness Is Here

Celebrate Marshmallow Madness the month of March at the Milford Public Library. Beginning March 5, patrons could begin voting for favorite “peep” versions of several classic children’s books, for example: “Good Night Peeps or Green Eggs and Peep.” The peep displays will be numbered and above the shelving in the children’s department. You may vote for your favorite once a day all week.

Your vote is a drawing slip to win a prize at the end of March. The week of March 21 there will be a marshmallow activity each day for all ages from 3:30-4:30 p.m. Monday, March 21, come to the marshmallow fling. Tuesday, March 22, is a Peeps scavenger hunt. Wednesday, March 23, come and make marshmallow poppers. Thursday, March 24, join us for Marshmallow Builders. Bring the whole family at 2 p.m. Friday, March 25, to see the movie “Open Season: Scared Silly” and enjoy marshmallow refreshments. These events will take place in the library’s meeting room.

Family Movie Day

Join us on Good Friday, March 25, for a family movie. We will be showing the movie in our library meeting room at 2p.m. The movie is 85 minutes long and rated PG. In the movie, Elliot and his other friends will reveal the truth about the Wailing Wampus Werewolf that scared Boog. This has prevented Boog from wanting to go on the annual camping trip. We will have snacks and refreshments. Bring your friends and family at 2 p.m. March 25.

Cake Pans: Enjoy Cake on March 30

To promote our cake pan collection, we have declared March 30 cake day. The library has more than 30 different cake pans that can be checked out for two weeks. If you have a special occasion coming up, or just want to make a beautiful cake, take a look at our collection in the adult department. Join us on Wednesday, March 30 for a delicious piece of cake baked and decorated by Shari Lambert. Lambert will make a butterfly cake for spring. We will serve cake until it’s all gone, so plan to stop by and make your day sweeter.
