Hi [First Name], here's what's happening at Milton Public Library this month:
March is a vibrant month at Milton Public Library!
Thanks to generous support secured in partnership with the Milton Community Resource Centre, MPL has received grant funding to expand Baby Bee’s First Reads. This enhancement will allow us to reach even more families and strengthen early literacy right from the start.
We are also proud to host the French in Canada Exhibit from the Canadian Language Museum in person during International Francophonie Day.
This engaging exhibit highlights the rich history and contemporary experiences of Francophone communities across the country.
Beginning March 14, our popular Pop-Up Book Sales return across all branches—your chance to discover great reads at great prices.
On March 17, we are excited to launch our Citizen Science Pollinator Kits, funded by the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation. These kits offer a hands-on way for community members to support local biodiversity.
Finally, we are pleased to continue our Artist in Residence program and welcome Malachi Watson‑Narcisse, who will be offering a series of creative workshops throughout the spring.
