Often the best place to find events and activities for your family is at your local library! Did you know that you do not need to live in a town to use the library there? Towns accept cards from other libraries that are a part of their network and they can even tie your card in if you are outside the network.
The two main library networks in the greater Bridgewater area are SAILS Library Network and Old Colony Library Network. Both networks allow you to request books and other materials from all libraries within the network and they will deliver those materials to the library of your choice.
