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

February brings some exciting updates at Milton Public Library.
 
We’ve added new Wacom tablets to support digital creativity. Check out our fresh Staff Picks reading lists featuring a variety of genres and themes to help you discover something new. 
 
Our Library of Things continues to grow, with new items now available to borrow, including a Nintendo Switch, ukulele, loom kits, a boombox CD player, tools, and more.
Finally, please note that all MPL branches will be closed on Monday, February 16, in observance of Family Day.
