Looking for a fun and creative activity? Among the MANY non-traditional things YOUR local library has to lend is an instant camera - film included! This is great for scrap-booking or just an entertaining time making funny faces with your friends. Ask your librarian if you're interested!
Attention Nute high-schoolers or any Milton student of high school age: Fun Fan Fiction entries are due Friday, February 8th! Have you ever thought about changing the ending to a favorite book? Maybe you've wanted to add a chapter to make some part of the story better, clearer, or just so that things happened the way YOU wanted? Here's your chance to "fix" one of your favorite books and try to win a great prize! Nute students should turn in their entries to their teachers and others can turn in their entries to the library. Prizes will be awarded on February 28th: First Place $100, Second Place $75, and Third Place $50!
Interested in researching your family tree? Milton Free Public Library has a library subscription to Ancestry.com. This means you can research your family's genealogy for FREE as long as you access the site via our Internet access - so bring your laptop or use of our computers and learn something new about your ancestors. You'll find the link on the main page of the library website (https://miltonfreepubliclibrary.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=edcb6918a5b95b583f64951d8&id=f6ebdddcec&e=e62757964d) or ask your librarian for help getting started. This could be a neat family project for the new year!
The "Little Red School House" will undergo some more work to its exterior next summer!
