Becket Athenaeum – Families Connect at the Athenaeum & Get Your Garden Growing
We always welcome families to stay after our Saturday 10:30am storytime for kids to play and their adults to connect with each other. Starting on May 18, we’ll also be offering free snacks and coffee.
For budding gardeners (pardon the pun), we’re here to help you prepare for the growing season with free seeds from our Seed Library and new Gardening Toolkits available for checkout from our Library of Things. Each kit can be checked out for 3 weeks and contains a variety of gardening tools plus gloves in adult and kid sizes.
