Summer Sign Ups Begin May 19
The summer is inching toward us! Just stand outside (without a coat!) and you'll prove my point. On that subject, sign ups for a few of our summer programs begin May 19. More details below, but can I tempt you to ... Plant a Garden, participate in a game show based on the books of Roald Dahl, learn how a book is made with picture book artist Sean Bryan, or join a Nutmeg Bookgroup? Sign ups begin (by phone at 655-1234 x117) May 19. We hope your family can join us for one or several of these special summer events! (Information about more summer events will be available soon!)
