Join us for a story time and craft with author Ryan T. Higgins. He’ll be reading his brand new book in the Penelope Rex series!
“Penelope Rex is the only dinosaur in her school and she likes it that way. But when a new kid joins her class, Penelope doesn’t know how to feel about it—because this new kid is another dinosaur! As she tries to welcome Patty Topps, Penelope is faced with some dino-size questions about standing out, fitting in, and what really makes her feel special.
Readers will root for Penelope as she navigates what it means to be one of a kind (even if she’s no longer the only kid in her class who is seven feet tall and covered in scales).”

Get inspired by the grit of groundbreaking women.
In author Sharon Spaulding’s book, Women Make History: Fifty-Three Stories of Courage, Strength & Resilience, you’ll meet trailblazing women whose accomplishments have been dismissed, forgotten, or wrongly attributed. Spanning from Colonial America to the late 20th century, you’ll be immersed in a kaleidoscope of backgrounds and experiences.

The Boston Bruins have teamed up with libraries across New England to encourage kids and teens to keep reading over the summer, and we’re one of the lucky libraries to host their mascot, Blades!
Bring your favorite teddy bear or stuffie to the garden. We will be playing games, doing a craft, having a snack and meeting Blades!
(Fun fact: Blades’ favorite book is Eric Carle’s Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?)
