News Release
MILFORD — The fourth week of the Summer Reading Program at Milford Public Library begins June 27. There are lots of activities, crafts, and new books, audiobooks, digital books and finally, in-person Family Story Times are back and will be held at 10:30 a.m. every Friday.
The library has a great line-up of storytellers this year who are excited to share ocean themed stories with you.

Families who stay for the entire event this week will be given a copy of “Big Beautiful Ocean: A Photographic Exploration,” by Kidsbooks Publishing – so plan on staying until the very end.
