Summer Reading Program 2026 - Kindness 101 started today with a great group of kids. We were honored to have Wanda kick off the program with her word of kindness, followed by stories of kindness in association with the Kindness 101 segments on video. We started our Kindness Rock Garden which we hope will grow throughout the summer. We ended with pizza and drinks. Thanks to all the volunteers their time and hope to see you all again next Wednesday at 10 AM to help grow our Kindness Garden and remember - BE KIND!

Frogs in a Pond - Saturday Morning Story Hour was Froggy's day catching flies - oh that's right - he was trying to sell lemonade instead of catching flies. It was actually more of an adult day but we still had fun. Remember - Saturdays at 10AM the kids can join us for story time and a craft followed with a snack. Please join us!

Remember Monday the 8th the Quincy Children's Museum will be out back at 2:30 -4 and Wednesday we kick off the Summer Reading Program - Kindness 101 at 10AM

Mateo reached out to the Library and we feel this is important. Mateo is a fifth-generation beekeeper and managing director of beeswarmed.org and you can also see him interviewed on YouTube on Apiary Chronicles

"Every spring, honeybee swarms start appearing in neighborhoods across the country. Most people who spot one don't know who to turn to and end up contacting pest control. We connect them with a local beekeeper who can catch the swarm and give the colony a hive where they can thrive, without charge as a community service. Our work has been featured in The Guardian and by NPR".

The 2026 Summer Reading Program will focus on KINDNESS. We will be sharing Kindness 101 clips, a Kindness Booth and building a Kindness Rock Garden with the help of the children plus other activities. The Program will be for 6 Wednesdays in June & July beginning June 10th starting at 10AM. (see banner below) There will be a Story time, a Kindness presentation, crafts/activities and Pizza and juice/water.

We will encourage ACTS OF KINDNESS throughout the summer and beyond! How to bring smiles to those you meet every day - friends, family, classmates, neighbors and new people you meet during the day - it is amazing how a smile and a kind word, even a hug can change you and those you meet. Most importantly be kind to yourself!

There are amazing stories out there that need to be heard and shared.
