News Release

MILFORD — Lunches and breakfasts are available in the library’s parking lot from 11-11:30 a.m. Monday-Friday. All children in the Milford community ages preschool through 18 years old are invited to come to the library and get a lunch and breakfast. You do not have to participate in the library’s Summer Reading Program to get the lunches; take advantage of this great program.

Guest Storyteller

Felicia Mottern is the guest storyteller on July 19. Her book is “The Bear’s Sea Escape” by Benjamin Chaud. Looking for a good place to take a long winter’s nap turns into a real adventure for Little Bear and Papa Bear. They get cozy and fall asleep in a shopping mall, when a little boy finds Little Bear and thinks he is a toy. Papa Bear wakes up to find his little cub missing and is off on a search that takes him through a train station, to a sea port and on a big cruise ship. Can you find Little Bear and Papa Bear in the two-page illustrations? Will Papa Bear find his cub? Come to story time at 10:30 a.m. Friday, July 19, and listen to this great story. Craft will be making binoculars to search with. This is the last family story time this summer, so plan to attend.

Grand Finale Pizza Party And Foamzilla

The library will celebrate the end of another successful summer reading program with a pizza party at noon Wednesday, July 17. Be sure to bring your pizza ticket with you. You earned a ticket if you read at least five hours this summer. They will be in the library’s parking lot. Bring a blanket or something to sit on and feast on pizza. Knights of Columbus are once again providing snow cones for everyone. At 1 p.m., Foamzilla will come and cool everyone off with tiny bubbles everywhere. Wear your swim suit if you prefer or something you can get wet. The Summer Reading Program ends at 2 p.m. Saturday, July 20, so if you have hours you want to turn in for prizes, you have to do it by then.
