Milford Memorial Library News
Join local author Lloyd Cunningham for a presentation on his book “The Death Boat”, Wednesday, June 22, at 6:30 p.m., at Milford Memorial Library. In the twilight of a summer evening, on an Iowa lake in 1929, two speedboats collided. Nine people were killed, and boating in the state was changed forever. Friction, even sabotage, ensued as the boat operators competed to become king of the lake. The enduring mysteries of the crash long have remained in the dark. "The Death Boat" pieces together newspaper stories, survivor accounts, public letters and private correspondence, witness testimony, supreme court decisions, and government records that shed light on those mysteries.
Join us for an evening of music with Celtic Guitarist and Storyteller Jerry Barlow June 16th, at 6:30 p.m., in the Milford Community Room. Sponsored by the Friends of Arnolds Park Library, Friends of Milford Memorial Library, and Friends of Spirit Lake Public Library!

Milford Memorial Library: Youth Corner
The 2022 Summer Reading Program Kick Off Celebration was a huge success. We had a total of 183 families and daycares that attended the free movies at the Milford Pioneer Theatre. Plus, they brought a lot of food donations for those in need. The next library collaboration program will be Rad Zoo at 10:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 16, at the Pearson Lakes Art Center.
Miss Becca had a great turnout for the first Building Bookworms (storytime) of the summer. The theme was all about bugs. Check out the pictures on MML’s Facebook of the kids making some pretty darn cute bugs out of colored Band-Aids. The upcoming MML programs are Summer Shenanigans and another Building Bookworms. The Milford Boy and Girl Scouts will be here for Summer Shenanigans at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 15. Building Bookworms will focus on trees, and it will be at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, June 20.
