May 2025 at Hall Memorial Library
Happy May! It’s last month before our Summer Reading Program kicks off and we couldn’t be more excited! But before that, make sure to check out all our awesome programs that we have going on in May!
Especially… the first Movies in the Park of the season! The first movie will be on Friday, May 30th and we will be showing the Goonies! The Riverfront Park will be open at 6pm for free food, drinks, and books, and the movie will start at dusk!
Our friends at the Raven Gael Blaisdell Foundation do a fantastic job at hosting the Movies in the Park all summer long, and they give out free books! To see more of what RGB Foundation is up to, subscribe to their quarterly newsletter using this link!
