July 19 is the last day to register for “Tails and Tales,” the 2021 Summer Library Program at Plumb Library. If you have already signed up, please remember to pick up the activity bag, which includes your reading logs and stickers at the library. Bring them in weekly to receive prizes and to add to the “Stick Together” mosaic. Each sticker equals a tile on the mosaic. When the mosaic is completed, a surprise picture will be revealed. Reading logs must be filled in by August 9 to receive an invitation to the ice cream party.
Stop by the library each week for a new “Scrambled Word” and to find a new hidden animal. Clues to the Scrambled Word and “Where’s the Whale Community Seek and Find” are available in the Event Calendar found on the Plumb Library website.
“Hodge Podge” will be hiding somewhere near Plumb Library on July 17 from 1:00 pm –2:00 pm. Find the clue about his location under July 17 on our event calendar. Once you find Hodge Podge, take a picture with him. Email your photo to Ms. Lisa at info@plumblibrary.com or come into the library to show a librarian. One photo per family. All Children/Teen program participants who share a photo by 2:00 pm will earn a small surprise. If you cannot attend this event, there will be another one on August 7. Registration is not required. All ages are welcome to participate! This event is funded by a grant from the Massachusetts and Rochester Cultural Council.
