[First Name], Join MPL for Summer Fun! ☀️

Wednesday, July 2, 2025

Hi [First Name], here's what's happening at Milton Public Library!

This summer, support our Summer Giving Campaign and consider donating required plants for the Medicine Learning Garden at Beaty Branch.

The garden is now fully accessible thanks to a new limestone pathway from the sidewalk. This important upgrade, made possible with support from the Town of Milton, ensures everyone can enjoy and learn in the space.

We’re also excited to introduce Hudson Lin (she/her) as the moderator for the One Book, One Milton 2025 event.

CEO & Chief Librarian
