Check out MPL's August programming!
Friday, August 1, 2025

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

As we continue our Summer Giving Campaign, I invite you to support local families through the Infant Food Bank. Help us reach our goal of $500 by donating essential baby items in person or online. We also introduced new AWE tablet Kiosks at all branches, offering fun, educational tools for young learners. Plus, we're also excited to add Royal Ontario Museum passes to our collection!
 
Finally, don’t miss An Evening with Heather O’Neill as she shares insights on her novel, The Capital of Dreams. Tickets are just $20 with code OBOM25. We hope to see you there!
