Story Time Resumes At Milford Public Library
News Release
MILFORD — Don’t forget story time is starting back up this fall. The library staff is excited to be offering in-person story times once again at Milford Public Library. Story time is geared towards children ages 3-6 and will be hosted at the library by various library staff members. Research has found that reading storybooks to children is one of the most important activities for developing the knowledge required for eventual success in reading — and bringing your children to story time is an excellent way to expose your child to reading and books.
Story times will be held at 10:30 a.m. or 1:30 p.m. Wednesdays beginning Sept. 21. (Programs will be the same for both time slots. These are not separate events.) All activities are free and no library card is needed to attend. Register in the children’s department if interested in bringing children to story time. It will be a fantastic time full of fun and stories.
Need Book Recommendations? Check Out MPL’s Staff Picks Videos
Do you struggle to find a good book to read? Are you tired of aimlessly browsing the shelves at the library without any direction? Do you get overwhelmed by all the book choices? Why not get some inspiration from library staff members.
Many current and former MPL employees have created “Staff Picks” videos to help you find some great books to read. Hear from Julie, Maureen, Trisha, Marcia, Maria and most currently, Emilia and find out which books they think are worth a read. Each video includes many different book recommendations, so make sure to watch all the way to the end.
“Staff Picks” include books from a variety of genres, too, so if you like thrillers, science fiction, romance, westerns, non-fiction or any other type of books, more than likely your favorite genre will be represented. If you are looking for children’s book specifically, MPL also has videos recommending staff’s favorite children’s titles.
To find the “Staff Picks” and “Favorite Children’s Books” videos, visit the Milford Public Library website and choose the “videos” tab at the top of the screen.
Want individualized help? Library staff members are always happy to help you find a great book. Visit the library today and ask a librarian for books tailored to your specific reading likes and dislikes. The goal is to help instill a continued love of reading into the community and there is nothing the staff enjoys more than helping a patron find their newest favorite novel.
So whether you are looking for a children’s chapter book, an adult thriller or anything in between, let the library help you find your next great read.
