April Series for Children "Bringing History to Life"

The Friends is pleased to announce a three-program series for children entitled, "Bringing History to Life." Each program will be held on a Wednesday in April from 1:30 to 2:30 pm in the library's Community Room. The programs are free and open to the public. No registration is required and children may attend any or all of the events.

On April 1, a Ben Franklin impersonator will speak to the children in his performance of "The Adventured of Benjamin Franklin." The following week, on April 8, a performance of "Abigail Adams: Mother, Daughter & Wife of the Revolution" will be held. Last, on April 15, the children will watch a video titled "Settling the New World," part of the Colonial Life for Children Series. Following the video, in conjunction with the Dover Historical Society, the children will participate in a craft or activity.

The program series is coordinated by the Friends of the Dover Library and supported in part by a grant from the Dover Cultural Council, a local agency supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC). For more info on the MCC, please visit www.massculturalcouncil.org.

"We are so thrilled to be able to bring these events to the library for our children, and we are grateful to the Dover Cultural Council, whose grant made it possible," said Lorie Linnell, president, Friends of the Dover Library.
