The 8^th annual Lights Out at the Library is coming soon to Milford Public Library. The library is hoping to give a candy bar to every trick-or-treater who attends the program, but they need the public’s help.

Anyone who would like to donate regular size candy bars for the children, please bring them to the adult circulation desk. The Milford Public Library is expecting to have over 300 visitors this year.

All ages are welcome! The group meets the second Thursday of each month. The next meeting will be from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Oct. 11 in the library meeting room.

Teen Read Week
Calling all TEENS… come to the library the week of Oct. 14-20 to help celebrate Teen READ Week. This year’s theme is “It Came from the Library!” Check out the display in the teen area and pick up a monstrously good read! MPL dares you to read for the fun of it! Teen Read Week is a time to celebrate reading in all its forms —books and magazines, e-books, audiobooks and more — and become regular library users.

Friends of the Library Events
The Friends of the Library are hosting their bi-annual book and bake sale in November. If you have gently used books, videos, DVDs, magazines, etc., please bring them to the meeting room at the library. Thank you!
