The Poop Museum is the place to come for those who are curious and have questions about poop, and also, if like Susie Maguire, they LOVE poop, and think it’s fascinating! In The Poop Museum Part Two, as the title suggests, there is EVEN MORE POO! And even more super interesting butts!

It’s a great opportunity to learn more and laugh more, in another perfect combination of solid science and scatological silliness. Ages 5-12.

Calling all paleontologists of all ages! Come explore the world of dinosaurs with your favorite Science teacher, Miss Frizzle! This is an interactive learning experience as children discover these amazing creatures that lived millions of years ago.

Get cozy and crafty with us! Our Getting Cozy at the Library sessions are back and in-person this winter! Join our staff in your coziest clothes as we sit by the "fire," and create a fun craft. Hot cocoa and tea will be provided. What craft are we making, you ask??? This month we will embroider constellations of your Zodiac signs.

Registration is strongly encouraged so we can make sure we have enough supplies. We love kids, but these craft sessions are for Adults only.

Join us at the West Branch for a collaging program with local artist Cara Foster Karim. We'll bring the supplies, you bring your creativity. 

This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Somerville Public Library. Thanks, friends!

Join us for Music Speaks: Blue Sunrise, an educational and evocative mixture of live violin performance and stories about the composers and music, including music from Bach to Blues, Ysaÿe’s famous “sunrise sonata,” and traditional Norwegian Hardanger fiddle music on the modern violin.

Families approaching the college admissions process are welcome to join this Zoom presentation to help successfully navigate the recent changes.

New or nervous readers are invited to practice and develop confidence by reading aloud to Waffles, a certified therapy dog, who will be a patient and non-judgmental audience! Waffles will be accompanied by his human handler.  This program is recommended for ages 4 through 11. Registration opens Monday, November 18.

Join us for a talk with Professor, Historian, and Author Kathleen DuVal as she discusses her book, Native Nations: A Millennium in North America - 'An essential American history' (The Wall Street Journal) that places the power of Native nations at its center, telling their story from the rise of ancient cities more than a thousand years ago to fights for sovereignty that continue today.
