Milford Memorial Library: Youth Corner
The last November Grab and Go Bag and Books at Milford Memorial Library will go out over the next two weeks (Nov. 16-30). The theme is Mo Willems’s pigeon character. The craft is a cute handprint pigeon made out of various colors of construction paper and a googly eye. Miss Becca has also pulled a bunch of books that feature the crazy pigeon that you can read with your kiddos over Thanksgiving Break. Depending on the weather, the 30 bags can be found out front on Mondays and the Drive-up Window the rest of the week. Feel free to call or email Miss Becca to reserve a bag (338-4643, beccas@milford.lib.ia.us).
Lastly, get excited because December Grab and Go Bags and Books are in the works, and they will be on the themes of Santa (craft: toilet paper roll Santa searcher) and cookies (craft: Cookie Monster cut out).
