It's springtime, and we are thinking baseball! Newton author (and parent) David Kelly will be stopping by the library to read from his new book, Babe Ruth and the Baseball Curse. Books will be available for purchase after the program, and David will happily sign yours for you. For more information or to register, please contact the children's room at 617-796-1370.

Punk Farm at the Library!

The Library had a visit from Punk Farm author Jarrett Krosoczka over April vacation. He spoke to a group of kindergarten through 5th grade students about how he got his start writing and illustrating children's books. The kids got a kick out of seeing comics and books he wrote as a kid. Jarrett read aloud and the audience joined in for a rousing rock and roll version of "Old MacDonald Had a Farm". It was mooooovelous!
