Kids’ Programs

Programs at the Medfield Public Library

All programs are FREE thanks to the generosity of the Friends of the Medfield Library. Programs are generally held in the Children’s Room or the Meeting Room, however during the warm months some may be held outside on Gazebo Green.  Advance registration is required for certain programs, due to space and supplies being limited.  Feel free to contact us for more information.
