MILFORD — Upcoming programs and events at Milford Public Library:

Adult Craft Night

Our next Adult Craft Night is scheduled at 6:30 p.m. Monday, April 11, in the teen area of the library. Our project is a spring door hanging made from burlap ribbons and wood squares. The cost is $10 at the time of registration. The sign-up sheet is available at the adult circulation desk. Our Craft Nights are very informal and fun. Sign up today.

National Library Week

Celebrate Libraries during National Library Week, April 10-16. The Milford community is very fortunate to have a wonderful library filled with books, movies, music and providing lots of terrific programming and services for all ages each year. We recently replaced some of our older equipment, thanks to money from a DEKKO grant. We now have five new public access computers upstairs. We also have a new copy machine and microfilm reader/printer available for use. New books and movies are added all the time in the adult, teen and children’s departments. Milford Public Library offers OverDrive so our patrons can download e-books. Freegal allows patrons to download five songs every week. If you have not visited the library lately, stop in and check us out. 

High Voltage Electricity Show

It’s time for our annual Community program for all of Wawasee Community School Corporation. The past two years, we have had a fabulous laser show to promote local summer reading programs and to encourage all students to read for fun. This year’s program is Professor Steve’s High Voltage Electricity Show. The program will be at 7 p.m. Friday, April 15, at Wawasee High School Gymnasium. The doors will open at 6:30 p.m., so plan to come early for a great seat. Get ready to be dazzled with awesome demonstrations of electrical power.

In this program, Professor Steve will explain the basics of electricity and amaze you with demonstrations of electrical devices like the Tesla Coil. The program is fun for the whole family. Admission is free, with limited seating. This program is sponsored by the Milford Public Library, Syracuse Pubic Library, North Webster Community Library, Wawasee High School Library, Wawasee Middle School Library, Wawasee Middle School PTO, Syracuse Elementary PTO, North Webster Elementary PTO, and Milford School PTO.
