Hello reader!

Read on for what's happening at the library.

Landlord/Tenant Legal Basics

Brookline Village

Thursday, April 10 at 7 PM

Head Law Librarian Alexandra Furtado from the Norfolk Law Library will discuss legal information for both landlords and tenants in Massachusetts, with special attention on leases, utilities, getting repairs made, security deposits, and eviction. This program CANNOT provide you with legal advice, but it will teach you how to find laws, legal resources, and guides and how the Trial Court Law Libraries can help you when you are experiencing a legal issue. Bring your questions about renting in Massachusetts!

Music at the Blissful with Evan Haller

Brookline Village

Saturday, April 12 at 10:30 and 11:30 AM

Come join the fun as we sing, jump, shake, laugh and go fast and slow with Music at The Blissful! Playing featuring songs off his new album, "What's Next ?", this is sure to be an action packed good time for all. This program will be held in Hunneman Hall and is recommended for kids ages 0-7 and their families.

Due to popular demand, we're offering two identical 30 minute sessions of this program. The first session will run from 10:30-11 AM and the second session will run from 11:30 AM-12 PM. Both sessions require a free ticket to attend. Tickets will be available at the Children's Desk half an hour before each session begins.

This event is generously sponsored by the Brookline Library Foundation.

Storytime with a Farmer & Books with Bunnies

Coolidge Corner

Thursday, April 10 at 1 PM and 2 PM

Join us for these two special events at Coolidge Corner Library:

Storytime with a Farmer at 1 PM: Farmer Jen from Good Pickin' Farm will be visiting the library with her bunnies! Kids ages 3-7 and their grownups are invited to listen to a story, learn about working with animals, and have a chance to snuggle with a bunny. Due to capacity limits (we don't want to frighten the bunnies!), tickets for each of three rotations will be available at the children's desk starting at 12:30 on the day of the program.

Books with Bunnies at 2 PM: Farmer Jen from Good Pickin' Farm will be visiting the library with her bunnies. Readers ages 5-10 and their grownups are invited to bring a book and have a chance to read aloud to a bunny - carrot literature not required! Registration is required to reserve a slot with a bunny.

These events are generously sponsored by the Brookline Library Foundation.
