News Release

MILFORD — The Milford Public Library is having a photo contest Jan. 24 to Feb. 19. This year the library would like people to submit a photo of his/her pet dressed as a sea creature.

The winner will be chosen by library staff. The winner of the contest will get a $50 gift card to PetSmart.

The penguin can have a unique pose, a silly face, or anything else you want. Use your imagination. The library staff is excited to see what you make. After you’ve built your penguin, submit a photo to [email protected] by Jan. 24 for a chance to win a new LEGO kit. The winner will be picked by staff vote. No library card needed! This challenge is for children ages 18 & under.

Adult Reading Club

This year’s Adult Reading Club Theme is Oceans of Possiblilities. The club is open to anyone 18 years of age and older. When it’s cold outside, what better way to enjoy the warmth of your home than to sit down and read or listen to a good book. It’s as simple as that to join the Reading Club, and it’s free to participate. For every book or ebook you read or audiobook you listen to, you can put your name into a weekly drawing to receive a prize. The books can be from the library or ones you have purchased privately, but we suggest that you try and read materials that are new to you.

Weather Delays and Closings

Now that it is well into the winter season, should the library need to open late or close early or all day due to inclement weather, it will be posted on its Facebook page, and announced on WNDU television channel. The library strives to keep its doors open during normal business hours and only closes when it is deemed unsafe for patrons and staff to travel because of dangerous weather conditions. If the library should need to be closed, any material due back during the closing will be given an extended due date.
