PIZZA BINGO is coming! We are getting excited for April 25th. Your child should have brought home a sign up sheet today (or download a copy below). Please notice there are two seatings again this year. A link was emailed out to sign up to volunteer.

** Orders and raffle basket donations are all due by Wednesday, April 10th.
School breaks can be a challenge to navigate for every family, from getting lunches ready to keeping kids and teens busy and happy. Here at Ventress Memorial Library, we're offering a Brown Bag Lunch program that will coincide directly with a week of fun free programming! From April 16th-18th the library will provide brown bag lunches for all school-aged children in Marshfield who fill out our Google form(https://goo.gl/forms/EF1xxtFVaX65KD6x1) by April 9th.
If you have any questions about the program, don't hesitate to email our Young Adult Librarian at cgluck@ocln.org before the registration due date.
