We’re going to have a family storytime with some silly books about birds and then we’re going to paint our own (indoor, decorative) birdhouses! Geared for ages 4-8, younger and older siblings welcome to join. Registration encouraged so that we will have enough birdhouses. Stop by, email youthdept@ewmlibrary.org or call us at 413-527-1031.
