Join Milford Memorial Library’s Summer Reading Program: Quaranteened Edition. During the summer, Young Adults will need to earn 5,000 points to complete the YA Summer Reading program. They are able to earn points by reading, finding secret codes, and completing activities. Some of the activities include doing something nice for someone, completing Subscription Box activities, doing something fun and nostalgic from their childhood, writing someone else’s life story, and more. Each time they complete a level, they will earn a badge, prizes, and a raffle ticket toward the end of Summer Reading Program prize. Young Adults (4th-12th grade) can sign up by going online to bookpoints.milfordlibrary.net, through paper logs available at the library, by calling (712) 338-4643, or emailing [email protected]. Get ready to have some fun with MML’s 2020 Summer Reading: Quaranteened Edition! We would like to thank the Friends of the Memorial Library for sponsoring this amazing program.
The Milford Memorial Library has an Adult Summer Reading Program again this year! All you have to do is pick up a bookmark at the library and fill it out throughout the summer or participate on bookpoints.milfordlibrary.net. You can bring the bookmark back to the library or log your reading online anytime between June 1 and Labor Day (September 7) for prizes. The Adult Summer Reading Program activities include the Adult Craft Series and Paint by Number Nights throughout June, July, and August. We encourage you to use the library in many different ways.
If you have materials to print, please email us at [email protected]. You may pick up your printing during the drive-up hours. Normal printing prices apply ($0.25 for black and white per page and $0.50 for color per page). We are currently not copying or sending faxes.
Milford Memorial Library: Youth Corner
Each Monday, Miss Becca and Milford Memorial Library will have Storytime Grab and Go Bags with a simple craft and fun extensions for at home. These can be picked up at MML’s Drive-Up Window or in the cart out front of the library. On Tuesday it will be Sidewalk Shenanigans in the parking lot to the east of the library. There will be different weekly activities and plenty of space for everyone to safely spread out. Lastly, Wednesday will be super easy from the comfort of your home and phone/computer with Facebook Challenges. All your family has to do is post a picture or video that relates to the theme, and then you will be entered in a prize drawing.
