News release

MILFORD  — The summer reading program’s theme at Milford Public Library is “Adventure Begins at the Library.” Come in and register at any time. Register in the teen area if you are going into sixth grade in the fall and up through age 18. Anyone preschool through going into fifth grade registers in the children’s department. Brochures are available at the circulation desks.

Join in at 2 p.m. Wednesday, June 5, behind the library for a visit from Hedgehog Hannah. If the weather is uncooperative, they will meet in the library’s meeting room. Children love animals and Hedgehog Hannah provides a hands-on, educational experience that will liven up anyone’s day. Both children and adults can touch, handle and learn about critters from all over the world, whether it be a bouncing wallaby, American alligator, sugar glider, huge Burmese python, Savannah monitor lizard, hedgehog or arctic fox.

Sonic the hedgehog comes to all the shows. Whether you want scary, cuddly or exotic animals, Hannah has it all and wants to share it with you. They will “travel” through the desert, the rain forest, the plains and more to share with you the amazing wonders of the animal kingdom. This program is free for the whole family. Seating is limited, so bring a blanket or chairs to sit on.

Free Lunch

The Wawasee School Corporation and the Department of Agriculture will once again provide free lunches for children ages preschool through 18 years old. This year, you may come and pick up a lunch and take it home to eat. If you would like to stay at the library and picnic, they do have a couple of tables available donated by Polywood. Feel free to bring a blanket to sit on and share lunch with your friends. The school bus will be in the library’s parking lot from 11-11:30 a.m. This is a wonderful program so please support it by getting free lunches for your children.
