Children's Story Hour
Story Hour has ended for the summer at the OFML. We are hoping to resume sometime in September - watch the newspaper and the Town Website.
Story Hour is an all-volunteer program so we need volunteers willing to either read, bring snacks, or do a craft. We are hoping that several people will want the program to continue and will offer to help. If you have any questions, please call the library at 269-3900.
