Milford Memorial Library: Youth Corner
It’s a new year, and a new beginning for your family to stop by and enjoy the Milford Memorial Library. There are new books arriving weekly, as well as there are so many good ones still on the shelf. We also have puzzles, toys, coloring/activity sheets, STEM bags, computers, and comprehension resources. Currently, there are two monthly storytimes and one after school activity. We hope to bring back and add new library things during 2023.
The best ways to stay up to date with MML youth happenings is through our website (milford.lib.ia.us), Facebook page (@milfordlibrary), and stopping by the library to grab a monthly calendar (1009 9th Street in Milford).
