Children's Book Week at the Library!

Next week is Children's Book Week (May 11 -- May 15). To celebrate, the Avon Free Library will host two special programs:

Monday, May 11th - Family Story Time from 6:30-7:15 pm. Enjoy a few stories and songs at this special story time for families. We will have a fun craft project as well.

Friday, May 15th - Paperback Book Swap from 3:00-4:30 pm. Children are welcome to bring in their gently used paperback books and swap them. This is a great way to get some "new" books to read! Children can also make a craft while they visit the book swap.

Hope to see you next week!
