with the Enfield Public Library

Monday, August 3 @ 10 am

RAIN LOCATION UPDATE

Due to the forecast for thunderstorms, Monday’s Storytime at 10 am with the Enfield Public Library has been moved to the Ministry House: Children’s Playroom. Find us in the white building near the Museum Entrance, right next to the Great Stone Dwelling.

Bring your raincoats! If the weather cooperates and the rain lets up after Storytime, we’ll take a short walk over to the Children’s Garden to explore together. We can’t wait to see you!

Join us for a special outdoor Storytime in the Garden in partnership with the Enfield Public Library at the Enfield Shaker Museum Garden.

On Monday, August 3 at 10:00 a.m., librarian Miss Kate will lead stories and songs for children under 5 and their caregivers in the beautiful surroundings of the Enfield Shaker Museum Children’s Garden.

After storytime, children will create a simple garden-themed ornament to take home, then explore our new Touch, See, Smell Sensory Garden and Children’s Pollinator Garden, where they can discover plants, flowers, and pollinators through hands-on exploration.

This event is free and open to the public, and all families are welcome. We hope you’ll join us for a morning of stories, creativity, and garden fun!

Restrooms: We have an outdoor porta potty at the garden and we will also have an indoor bathroom at the museum (about a 3 minute walk away)

Water and Snacks: We will have water and apple slices available. Please feel free to bring snacks to the garden!

Rain Location: School room in the Ministry House
