Did you hear about the the Pollard Memorial Library's Children's Summer Reading Program for 2026? It's totally fire!

Children in grades 4 and younger can register for the SRP program starting today at the Children's Reference Desk. Once you register, you will be handed a paper reading log to keep track of your reading. Read a total of 2 hours per week and record your reading in your log. When you finish your reading, you can come to the Children's Reference Desk to stamp your reading log. Children will earn a spin the prize wheel and a raffle ticket for our End of the Summer Reading Raffle.

We look forward to seeing everyone today! 😁

THIS WEDNESDAY, June 24! Join Boston Globe journalist Emily Sweeney Emily Sweeney for an action-packed presentation about her latest book, DROPKICK MURPHY: A LEGENDARY LIFE, which chronicles the life of Dr. John "Dropkick" Murphy, a professional wrestler and doctor who ran an infamous detox center in Acton, Massachusetts.

Decades before the Betty Ford Center became a household name — and long before the band the Dropkick Murphys named themselves in his honor — the phrase "going to Dropkick’s" meant a person struggling with addiction needed help and would soon get some. Drawing on years of research and interviews, author Emily Sweeney will reveal the untold story of Murphy’s life, his farm, and the legendary events that unfolded there.
