Glastonbury's Welles-Turner Memorial Library Hosting "Take Your Child to the Library Day"

The Glastonbury library is holding events and games Saturday, Feb. 2, designed to introduce children to their local library.

 

The Welles-Turner Memorial Library Children’s Department is sponsoring the second annual “Take Your Child to the Library Day” this Saturday, Feb. 2, with concerts, movies, snacks and activities for Glastonbury children.

The annual library event was created by Connecticut’s children’s librarians, and has grown into a nationwide campaign dedicated to introducing children to their local libraries.
