[First Name], here's what's happening at MPL in June!

Monday, June 1, 2026

Hi [First Name], here's what's happening at Milton Public Library this month:

Summer is shaping up to be an exciting season at Milton Public Library.

We are thrilled to launch our Summer Reading Clubs for children, teens, and adults on June 13, encouraging our community to stay curious, creative, and connected through reading all summer long.

Tickets are also now available for this year’s One Book One Milton event featuring celebrated Canadian comedian, actor, and author Mary Walsh.

We are also excited to share that the Medicine Learning Garden at Beaty Branch is now officially open. Our Seed Giveaway has also launched across all branches while quantities last.

This summer, MPL is also proud to partner with Milton Community Resource Centre to support local families through the Infant Food Bank as part of our Summer of Giving campaign.

Throughout Pride Month, MPL is proud to offer inclusive programs and curated collections that celebrate and reflect 2SLGBTQIA+ voices, stories, and experiences within our community.

New items have also landed in the MPL Shop, including a colouring book and crayons set, as well as a wellness journal and pencil crayons set, both available for $3 each while quantities last.

Visitors to Main Library will also begin to see beautiful new murals taking shape in the children’s area, inspired by the five early literacy practices: talking, singing, reading, writing, and playing.

Thank you for being part of the Library.

Sarah Douglas-Murray
CEO, Milton Public Library
