Join the staff of the Children’s Room for a special story time program on Thursday, July 23 at 10:30 am to celebrate Disability Pride Month featuring stories that center kids and families with disabilities and foster a sense of inclusion. This program is in partnership with the Melrose Commission on Disability.

This program will feature songs, stories, and movements for all ages that will get little ones grooving to the beat. With an early literacy focus, kids and their caregivers will meet new friends, learn new songs, and discover new books.

Registration is recommended, but not required. Please register for all who will attend (i.e. register for 3 people if a child and two adults will attend).

Recommended for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers with their caregivers.

Join the Children’s Room and Curious Creatures on Tuesday, July 21 at 3:00 pm for some animal fun as we Plant a Seed, Read this summer.

Curious Creatures is New England’s original interactive and educational live animal program, established by Dean Kosch in 1987. Their staff of experienced and professional exhibitors teach appreciation for exotic and unusual animals. The hands-on, interactive presentation includes interesting facts and stories about our creatures in an educational and entertaining environment. You can even touch (and hold) some of the animals!

Recommended for kids and families ages 6 and up. Caregivers must remain in the program room with children during the event.

Register in advance for this event as space is limited. Include each child attending in the registration. Unregistered or younger patrons may not be able to attend as the animals have age and space restrictions.
