New! Middle School Open House Date Rescheduled to Monday, 9/17
Okay … the weather didn’t cooperate with us this past week, so all three Middle School Open Houses had to be rescheduled. Here’s the latest news on that:

Monday, Sept. 17th – All three Middle Schools will conduct their Open Houses on Monday, Sept. 17th. Save the Date – and mark it on your fridge calendars so you don’t miss out.

One City One Story 2018: PIRATES!
We are pleased to announce the ONE CITY, ONE STORY 2018 theme for this Fall is PIRATES! The adult book selection is none-other-than TREASURE ISLAND, by Robert Louis Stevenson. As we’ve done in the past, two additional titles are chosen to involve younger readers. This year, the Elementary selection is Shiver Me Timbers: Pirate Poems and Drawings by Douglas Florian; and the Middle School selection is Pirate Island, by Katie L. Carroll. Several programs and events have been planned for the next few weeks and we suggest you visit the Milford Public Library websitefor details. We will also profile these events as we get closer.
