Read Beyond the Beaten Path at the Mattapoisett Free Public Library this summer!
The summer library program, Read Beyond the Beaten Path, officially kicks off on Saturday, June 25 at 1:00 pm. Library staff will be outside, weather permitting, with fun lawn games and treats, some from Oxford Creamery! Treats available on a first come, first served basis while supplies last.
After enjoying games and treats, everyone can register for summer reading! Readers of all ages are encouraged to participate throughout the summer and be eligible to win great prizes. There are two ways to participate, online using Beanstack or on paper with the Bingo forms. Children can also pick up a badge book to go along with Beanstack. The library’s website, mattapoisettlibrary.org, will have all the details.
