MILFORD — The Milford Public Library will host the following events in April:

CELEBRATE NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK APRIL 8 TO 14

Milford Public Library joins libraries nationwide in celebrating National Library Week April 8 to 14.

Libraries aren’t just places to borrow books or study—they’re also creative and engaging community centers where people can collaborate to develop their skills and passions. 

Milford Public Library has evolved to better meet the needs of our community. All kinds of residents – students, families, small business owners, and more – depend on resources offered by the library.

By offering resources like e-books and nutrition classes, materials for language learners and programs directed toward youth in the community, our library helps lead the community.

To learn more about how Milford Public Library serves the community, call (574) 658-4312, visit us at 101 N. Main St., or visit the library’s website at http://www.milford.lib.in.us/.

TEEN BOOK CLUB

Join the club as we watch a movie starring Emma Roberts and Dave Franco.  Enjoy free snacks, then talk about our newest book club selection If I Stay by Gayle Forman.
