MATTAPOISETT — The Mattapoisett Free Public Library’s summer reading program may be over, but that doesn’t mean the library won’t have events to close out the season.

Kids who participated in the reading program and finished their reading minutes can stop by the library to pick up prizes. Winners for the adult and teen program will be announced in the coming days.

On Tuesday, August 17 at 6:30 p.m., the Cookbook Club will meet in person to discuss “Quick & Simple” by Jacques Pepin. In “Quick & Simple,” Pepin gives 250 recipes aimed to be achievable and impressive. The book covers homemade staples and every course, with tips for kitchen tools and equipment, pantry staples, and techniques to simplify and improve dishes. Visit mattapoisettlibrary.org to learn more or to register.

On Saturday, August 21 at noon, join the library for Bingo on the library lawn (weather permitting). Everyone wins and ages are welcome. No registration is required.

On Friday, August 27 at noon, the library will host an End of Summer Tailgate. Join the library as it celebrates the end of summer with a last hurrah. Play all sorts of lawn games, such as Jenga, Kerplunk, Snakes & Ladders, and more. There will also be a simple craft and snacks. No registration is required and families are encouraged to attend.

All programs are free and open to the public. If you have any questions or need special
accommodations, contact the library at 508-758-4171 or email the Adult Services/Reference Librarian, Michelle Skaar at mskaar@sailsinc.org.

The library thanks all who participated in the summer reading program.
