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!

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!

This January has be brutally cold! It is perfect weather to stay indoors and settle into a cozy chair with a warm blanket and a good book. So why not stop by the library? Our friendly staff will be glad to suggest an author or title to dig into. Or, speaking of digging, you might request a gardening book and dream of flowers, warm weather, and spring!
The Library will be closed January 20, 2025
Looking forward – A February activity for Kids!
January 6, 2025
