To sign-up, email the library at info@plumblibrary.com, or give the Library a call at 508-763-8600. Then, start reading and completing challenges on June 20 through August 8. Yes, listening to audio books, reading to others, or being read to all count as reading! There will be prizes earned for participation in certain activities and for completing a log by August 8. You have to be signed-up to be eligible for prizes. All ages are welcome to participate! There are many activities, which youth (and adults) can do independently, while others can be done with a grown-up or together with family.

“Video: Science Tellers – Dragons Jr. for Preschoolers” – A long time ago in a faraway land, two kids meet a friendly dragon. Together, the three friends fly across the countryside and have all sorts of adventures!

Along the way, find out how we can use science experiments to bring the story to life! Dragons Jr. was created for preschoolers and consists of three, 15-minute Vimeo Video “shorts”.

We know everyone is missing books! Plumb Library is continuing Grab-n-Go at the Gazebo! Take a ride to Plumb Library to select a free children’s, young adult or adult book to keep! All books have been sanitized. Please practice social distancing – only one family at a time in the Gazebo. Wash your hands before and after selecting your books. Make sure to tightly close the lid when you are done selecting your book. Please take up to two books per person per visit as inventory is limited! You can visit as much as you’d like! Let us know you visited by taking a picture of you and your book choices and posting to our Facebook page, or emailing to Ms. Lisa at lfuller@sailsinc.org. We hope this project will continue throughout the summer! If you have donations to offer, please call the library. Special thanks to the Friends of Plumb Library, the Rochester Lions Club, and both Plumb Library and RMS families for our wonderful book selection.
