 Dear Swansea, Happy Independence Day! In celebration of the Fourth of July, the library will be closed on Friday, July 3rd and Saturday, July 4th. In addition to all of our regular programming, we have a jam packed summer for you with activities geared toward summer fun. We want to share a huge thank you for all of the donations, gifts and knit creations that you so freely gave to us for the Community Baby Shower. We had an overwhelming response with lots of families joining us that day. Thanks to you, we were able to help parents and create stronger connections with support agencies who shared their time with us that day. Special thank you to the Swansea Purls for their beautiful handicrafts! We hope you are enjoying the start of your summer! Jocelyn Tavares, Library Director |

The Massachusetts Statewide Summer Library Program is funded by the Massachusetts Library System, the Boston Bruins, and the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners. It's that time of the year! There are so many benefits to keeping your kids and teens reading throughout the summer. It promotes family bonding, helps kids learn about how other people may live and promotes understanding. It is fun and relaxing, and a sneaky way for you to get your kids ready for the next school year. The library offers incentives to keep kids and teens reading. Keep track of your reading and win a prize! |
