Here is a list of events taking place next week at the Fall River Public Library.
From the Fall River Public Library
It’s school vacation week, and Fall River Library has a full slate of programs for kids of all ages—and adults, too! Here’s what’s going on at the library this week. Please note that the library is closed on Monday for Patriots’ Day. The library online catalog (SAILS) will be unavailable Monday morning until 11 am for a system upgrade. For the rest of the week, the catalog and other online services will be available, but patrons will not receive electronic notices about holds or overdues. If you have any questions, call the library at 508-324-2700, ext. 2.
Take-home Children’s Craft: This week’s take-home craft is a floating beaver craft. Kids will have a blast assembling this cute animal craft that doubles as a bath toy—it really floats! Pick one up in the Children’s Room all week or while supplies last.
Blackout Poetry: Stop by the library anytime this month to create your own blackout poem for National Poetry Month. Blackout Poetry takes an existing text and blacks out words with a marker to create a poem from the words that are left.
