Spend Vacation Week at the Library!

The Dedham Public Library has a lot of special programs lined up for February vacation week! Here are some highlights:

On Tuesday, February 21 at 1 pm children ages 6-9 are invited to participate in a hands-on introductory piano lesson. At 2 pm, teens can have fun at our Teen Tech Take Apart Day dissecting old printers and calculators to see how they work. The day wraps up with a piano performance for all ages at 6:30 pm at the Main Library!

Wednesday, February 22, starts with a story time at the Endicott Branch at 10:30 am. By 4:30 pm children ages 9 and up will be at the Main Library experimenting with fused glass to make pendants and magnets.

Science, writing, and yoga fill up Thursday’s schedule! Everyday Science will be at the Main Library at 3:30 pm, this is a great way for children in grades 1-5 to have fun while learning a little bit of science. Children that are interested in writing should check out our Writing Workshop at the Endicott Branch at 5 pm. The last program on February 23 is a yoga program for youth ages 10-18 at 6 pm at the Main Library.

Close out vacation week by hanging out with Eddie, the Norfolk County Sheriff Comfort Dog! Eddie will be at the Main Library on February 24, from 2:30-3:30 pm so stop in, say hello, and unwind from a fun-filled week!

With February vacation wrapping up, that means it’s almost March and time for March Minute Madness! Help the Dedham Library out-read other Massachusetts libraries! Starting March 1, log your reading as we fight for a spot in the Minute Madness Challenge. Each week we will compete head-to-head against libraries from across the state in this bracket-style reading challenge. Books, audiobooks, graphic novels, magazines and newspapers all count towards our total. Special prizes for the first 150 participants and more for top readers!
