MATTAPOISETT — The Mattapoisett Free Public Library has two special programs coming up for children and families in August.

On Thursday, August 5 at 10:30 am, it’s Turtle Time at the library. The New England Coastal Wildlife Association will make a kid-friendly presentation about turtles. The presentation will be followed by crafts and activities. Online registration is required.

On Friday, August 6 at 10:30 am, Backyard Jams will join the library’s summer reading challenge with an interactive concert for the whole family. Ice cream cups and popsicles will be available.

Our summer reading raffle prizes will be distributed after our morning concert. If you would like to be part of our final summer reading raffle, you must complete our reading program challenge by Thursday, August 5.

Everyone is welcome to attend, no registration necessary. Funded by the Friends of the Mattapoisett Library with additional prizes given by the Oxford Creamery.

In addition to special programs, the library is still offering weekly take home STEM and craft kits. Thursday, July 29 at 10:30 am will be our final Sensory Center event and Wednesday, August 4 at 3 pm will be our final pop-up activity with “milk-jug birdhouse painting”.
