The Milford Public Library will close out October with more exciting and important programs. In addition, popular programs like chair yoga, weekly story time and IMAZINE will continue as usual. As a reminder, during construction, all adult and teen programs require registration.
On October 17 at 1 PM, adults can decorate their space with autumn crafts like tiny pumpkins, corn and leaves. Molly Honey King from the Mispillion Art League will teach you how to make miniatures to display, turn into garland or a hanging mobile. All material is provided.
The Day Book Club will meet on Tuesday, October 20 at 1 PM. The club is open to the public and meets on the third Tuesday of each month. The library will have 12 copies of the book of the month held at the circulation desk the month before. At the October 20 gathering, the club will discuss “My Brilliant Friend” by Elena Ferrante. Those who have already read the book are welcome to join in the discussion.
That same day, children can enjoy Spooky Slime at 3 PM, creating the slime and adding googly eyes, glitter, spiders or other creepy crawlers. All materials are provided.
UNITED Church will be on hand for community outreach on October 21 from 1 to 3 PM. The church will be in the south parking lot handing out free hygiene items, offering a clothing closet and providing a delicious lunch while supplies last. The library cannot guarantee that food served at this program has not come into contact with nuts, soy or other allergens.
