Lego Club
We provide the Legos and you provide the imagination. Our Lego club continues to meet on the second Saturday of each month at 10:30 a.m. All invited!

Puppy Pals
Puppy Pals reading program continues at the Blanding. We have several registered therapy dogs who come into the library to share reading time with young readers. Children may read to one of the 'pups' to gain confidence or better their reading skills. Dogs don't criticize and they love to listen. Call the library for more information on this special reading time.

Spring Sale: Jewelry & More on April 22
While you’re spring cleaning, set aside those old pieces of jewelry, scarves, belts, and handbags you don’t want anymore and bring them to the Blanding during business hours. The Blanding is accepting these gently-used items for a sale on Sat. April 22, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. You’ll find lots of great bargains at the sale. Hope to see you there!

Interfaith Dialogue on May 4
The Blanding Library will present an interfaith dialogue, “Building Bridges in Rehoboth” at Goff Hall on Thurs. May 4 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. This will be a panel discussion followed by refreshments. Panelists will include those from different faith communities (Christian, Jewish, Muslim) who will share their beliefs. Library director Laura Bennett says, “Come with an open heart, an open mind, and lots of questions.” The program is free and open to all; no registration is required. For more information, call 508-252-4236.
