CELEBRATE NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK!
|
|
|
Brookline Village and Putterham Libraries
|
|
Sunday, April 8-Saturday, April 14
|
Celebrate your love of libraries with us! This upcoming week we are hosting activities including:
|
- Scavenger hunts at each location - complete each one and get a small prize!
- Scratch tickets available at each location. Every day you check out an item during the week, pick up a scratch ticket at the circulation desk, scratch off the square, and see what you might have won.
- Librarians will be dressing up for Wacky Wednesday (how wacky can we get?) and Fandom Friday (dress to show off your favorites things: books, characters, sports team, whatever you're a fan of). We'd love some company if you want to show off your wildest or most fannish clothes.
