When you visit the library, don’t forget to check at the Information Desk to see if there are any “take-and-make” craft kits being offered. There’s usually some craft available that kids can take home and which will only require a few basic items like scissors and a glue stick in order to create the finished product. Questions? Call the Children’s Room direct at 781-388-0803.
The 12 paper turkeys that were hidden in plain sight around the Children’s Room have now been replaced by 12 paper gnomes. Kids can stop by the Children’s Room desk anytime to request a game sheet and participate in the scavenger hunt. Locate each gnome, write the name next to the corresponding number on the sheet, and when all 12 gnomes have been found, bring the sheet to the Children’s Room desk to claim a little prize. Patience and good observational skills will be rewarded!
Young Adults in the 5th through 12th grade are invited to enjoy the latest and greatest Marvel film in person at the MPL this week. On Thursday, December 9th at 3:00-5:00 PM we will be showing the film based on the comic book character “Shang Chi” in the Maccario Room.
Seating is limited to first come first serve and masks are required, though light refreshments and snacks will be served.
