Virtual Spring Story Time theme this week is “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on my Head.”  Join us via ZOOM at 10:30 a.m. or 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 27. Be sure to pick up a craft packet for your child the week before so they can make a craft with Miss Maria. You can register your children for the spring session of story time by calling (574) 658-4312 or stopping by the children’s department. You will be given a link with a meeting number so you can join the ZOOM meeting. Virtual Story Time lasts about 45 minutes including craft and snack time. Reading to your children is one of the most important things you can do as a parent. Call or stop by soon and register your children.

The April LEGO Challenge was to make a hot air balloon. Build a hot air balloon and send your photo by April 25. The library staff will choose a winner. May’s LEGO challenge is to build an alien. Use your imagination. After you’ve built your alien, submit a photo to [email protected] by May 25 for a chance to win a new LEGO Kit. The winner will be picked by staff vote. No library card needed. This challenge is for children ages 18 and under. 

Welcome New Co-Workers

The Milford Public Library staff is happy to welcome Emilia Layne and Anna Jackson to its staff. They will be working in the adult and children’s departments. “I’ve always wanted to work around and with books since I was little and plan on starting my Masters in Library Information and Science this fall,” states Layne.
