The Storywalk® on the grounds of our library features several regional books and local authors. Beginning this month, we will host a quarterly Storywalk® Themed Activity Day. This month’s book, “Lobsterman” by Dahlov Ipcar, a Maine author, is a classic with something for everyone to enjoy. In honor of our rich maritime heritage, we will be assisting children in creating lobstering themed crafts in the Children’s Library. There will be light refreshments, coloring sheets and more to enjoy. Our Storywalk® implementers, Shannon Cherry and Julianne van Norden will be on site to greet visitors as well. We hope to see you there!
