Shelves full of books, nooks to read … libraries are always comforting, especially in Milton.

If going to the library to read is not enough of an excuse, here’s a sample of what you can do there in the summer.

National Aboriginal History Month – June 12, 19 and 25,

Main Library

Celebrate the heritage, diverse cultures and the achievements of First Nations, Inuit and Metis.

It’s all happening at the Main Library.

Seniors’ Tea – June 14, 1:30 – 3:30 p.m.

You know the lovely stories your grandma probably told you, or perhaps your grandpa spilled some family secrets and ended up giving you a lot of wisdom. For Seniors’ Month, there’s a special tea being hosted at the library. A little date with your grandparents could turn out fun, no?
