Milford Memorial Library’s Spring Egg Hunt will start on Monday, March 27. Fourth graders and up may pick up an egg sheet that has 12 picture eggs. Each participant will need to find the objects on the paper, write down what each object is and where it is located. They will then bring the completed sheet to the circulation desk and their name will be entered into a drawing. The hunt is over on Friday, April 7.
Milford Memorial Library provides a variety of magazines. For the cooks, we recommend The Food Network Magazine, Taste of Home, and Bon Appetit.
