ROCHESTER — July 19 is the last day to register for "Tails and Tales,” the 2021 Summer Library Program at Plumb Library. Those who have already signed up can pick up the activity bag, which includes 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 Aug. 9 to receive an invitation to the library’s 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 plumblibrary.com

Hodge Podge will be hiding somewhere near Plumb Library on July 17 from 1 to 2 p.m. 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 and teen program participants who share a photo by 2 p.m. will earn a small surprise. If you can not attend this event, there will be another one on Aug. 7. Registration is not required, and all ages are welcome. This event is funded by a grant from the Massachusetts and Rochester Cultural Council.

Thanks to the support of the Rochester Firefighter's Association, The Toe Jam Puppet Band is back for an outdoor show (weather permitting). Join the library for an interactive, rowdy, silly show with live original music, bubbles, and dancing on July 8 at 1:30 p.m. Pre-registration is required, and a preference is given to Rochester families.
