Adult programs held via zoom included 6-lecture series, geneology group, and many others. We also fund summer reading programs for children, teens, and adults and many other programs in the Children's Room. All are very well attended, and we have had to add a second session for some Children's programs to accommodate all the patrons. 0 20737 Assets donated to the Library this year, DVDs and items for the Children's Room as well as items for the Internet of Things. 0 3232 Passes to 15 local and greater Boston museums, granting free or reduced-cost admissions for the bearer plus family.
