Meeting Room (Lower Level) — 69 W. Emerson St., Melrose, MA
Join the Children's Room for an ongoing series of Community Helper Story Times, continuing with the Department of Public Works (DPW)! Engineer Elena Proakis will talk about working in and leading the DPW, and then read a DPW-related book for the season. We will sing songs to move and groove as well. Stay for a craft or activity at the end as well to celebrate the DPW and learn more. This program is recommended for kids and families ages 0-8. Siblings welcome. Caregivers must remain with children during the event. No registration necessary.
Up to age 8.
