Happy 5th Anniversary to the “new” Milton Public Library, so mark your calendars for cake and ice cream on Sunday, April 27 from 2-3 p.m. What’s a party without games and prizes? Create your own Library building with Legos, and take a chance at winning a Happy Anniversary Basket with coupons for free books at the Friends Book Shop, a Get Out of Jail card to help you with those overdue fines, and more fun gifts too. However, the celebration begins in April so join the fun all month long!
April opens with a photographic exhibit by Milton resident Peter Jackson in the Wotiz Gallery, and is jam packed with author talks, concerts, travel programs and new films throughout the month. Visit www.miltonlibrary.org and note your favorite events.
