That’s a wrap on our Summer Giving Campaign! 💜

Over the past several weeks, the Milton community came together to support the MCRC Infant Food Bank, and thanks to your incredible generosity, $1,414 in physical and monetary donations was raised!

These donations are already making a difference, helping provide one month of essential care and supplies for 8 babies in our community. 🍼💜

Thank you to everyone who donated, shared, and supported the campaign. Your generosity shows just how much we can accomplish when we come together for our community.

Thank you, Milton! 💜

Earlier this month, 74 attendees joined us at Orange Snail Brewery for the Screeched Inn Kitchen Party, bringing Newfoundland music, community, and East Coast spirit to Milton. 🎻🪗

But what does a kitchen party have to do with the library? 👀

This special event was part of One Book One Milton 2026, celebrating our featured author and proud Newfoundlander Mary Walsh!
