Milford Memorial Library is collecting non-perishable food items for the Dickinson County Upper Des Moines Food Pantry until Friday, December 16. Let’s help stock their shelves!
During this busy time of year, take some time to breathe and relax with materials from the Milford Memorial Library. Stay cozy with a book or audiobook that eases your mind, a movie that transports, or a puzzle or cake pan that creates a memory. Stop in to MML and see what catches your eye.
We understand it is cold, windy, and icy. But you can still receive library materials. Patrons may pick up reserved materials through our drive-up window on the east side of the building. The window is open during operating hours. To reserve materials patrons may go onto our online catalog through MML’s website or you may call 712-338-4643 to place your reservation. When you pull up there is a white call button located in the front. If you are not able to reach the button, you may call the phone number provided.
Milford Memorial Library: Youth Corner
Milford Memorial Library will have Afterschool Activity at 3:30 p.m. this coming Thursday, December 8. The activity will be a life-sized gingerbread person. This entails the kiddos tracing and decorating an outline of their body to look like a gingerbread person.
Also before the holidays, Miss Becca will have one more Building Bookworms. This storytime is at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, December 19. The books, movement, and craft (spiral sledding mobile) is all about snow and sledding.
This week’s library feature is the creativity table in the youth area. This is a great spot for everyone to use their imagination with a variety of coloring utensils and coloring/activity sheets. The sheets get changed a couple of times each month.
