In honor of our rich maritime heritage, we will be assisting children in creating lobstering themed crafts in the Children’s Library. There will be light refreshments, coloring sheets and more to enjoy. Our Storywalk® implementers, Shannon Cherry and Julianne van Norden will be on site to greet visitors as well.
