WINCHENDON — Surf over to the Winchendon library for some great summer programs. Each week, as part of their ongoing Summer Reading Club, the library is holding programs that are sure to be oceans of fun! Here’s what’s happening the week of July 25- 29:
On Tuesday, July 26, from 10 a.m. to noon, take a walk with a fin-tastic fish story during the fourth and final Oceans of Possibility Storywalk of the summer. Join the Beals Memorial Library and the Winchendon Coordinated Family and Community Engagement Grant (CFCE) for a fun, interactive outdoor storytime by following the path of poster boards set up throughout the library lawn. The final story of the month will be “The Pout-Pout Fish,” by Deborah Diesen. Mr. Fish swims through the sea with a permanent frown. Can his pals cheer him up and turn that frown upside down? Come to the program to find out. Each child who participates will receive a book while supplies last.
On Wednesday, July 27, at 2 p.m., join Melissa the Mad Scientist for her annual Junior Mad Scientists program. Get your hands wet with some ocean-themed science experiments. Learn about how scientists make observations and test the waters with some fun, hands-on experiments. This program is intended for children ages 6-10 and participants must have a grown-up with them. The program will be held outside and participants should dress in clothes that are OK to get messy in. Space is limited, so contact the library to sign up.
The Beals Memorial Library is located at 50 Pleasant St. in Winchendon. For more information or to sign up for programs, contact the library at 978-297-0300 or visit their website at bealslibrary.org.
