Thank you, Ipswich, for a great summer 2026 at the library! We loved exploring this year's "Plant a Seed, Read" theme with our patrons as we:
๐ŸŒธ Created plant-themed crafts in the children's room and at Crafty Creators
๐ŸŒธ Tried new foods at Cookbook Club and Teen Taste Tests
๐ŸŒธ Had a blast at big events like Giant Candy Land, Vehicle Day, and the Henna Party!

The fun doesn't stop just because the weather gets a little cooler, so keep an eye out for our lineup of programs for all ages this fall!
