Thursday Art
Jump Frog Jump
That’s just what they did this evening at the Vincentown Library’s 4th Annual Frog Jump! Competition was fierce, 24 entries (!) but there’s always one little guy that jumps a “great” distance to take 1st Place. And those frog catching stories were great! There are great authors among us!
Jump into Summer!
School is out – summer is officially here! Why not stop by the library to say hello, pick up a few good books. Sit, read and enjoy these steamy summer days!
Be sure to visit Ms. Kim to see what activities has planned for the kids.
Mark on your calendar, July 10th., the library will hold the annual Frog Jump! Professor Bullfrog and her most able assistant Amphibious will, once again, with “precise accuracy”, measure the distances to determine the winner of this Epic event. Come join the excitement, with or without a frog, to watch the kids spur their little green athletes as they jump their way to local fame!
WOOF WOOF IT’S BARK FOR BOOKS TIME!
REGISTER TODAY to show off your furry best friend – OR Register upon arrival at the event!
Bring along a chair for comfort while watching the competition. Refreshments will be available.
There will be door prizes and baskets galore – full of everything your pup could need!! It will be a cash only event.

Let Summer Begin!
Though temperatures seem a bit chilly summer is just around the corner and before you know it we’ll be complaining about the heat!
Monday, May 26, 2025 marks Memorial Day. Vincentown will again remember and honor those brave men and women who sacrificed their lives in the service of their country.
AND…
This year the library have a float in the parade to promote summer reading: Color Our World. Be on the lookout for Maile and Kim in their colorful creation! And be sure to stop by the Children’s Library to say hello and have a cup of lemonade!
Since school is nearing and end for the year, we stopped by to ask Ms. Kim what plans she has for summer programs. She had a “few” ideas!

February: Spring or Snow?
According to the National Weather Service, February, is on average, the snowiest month in the United States (the Full Snow Moon). We’ll have to wait until February 2nd when Punxsutawney Phil emerges from his home to let us know if winter is officially over. If Phil hurries back inside, not to worry, get the sleds ready for some winter fun!
