Check out pickleball, disc golf sets at library

by Head Librarian Sherri McConnell

Happy Spring, Stockbridge! We are thrilled to see the sunshine streaming through our windows and the students streaming through our doors since the weather is warmer.

The students are using their Student Success Initiative cards to check out books from our shelves. We have something new for folks to check out in May, pickleball and disc golf sets. This sports equipment is donated to the library by the Friends of the Stockbridge Library and the 5 Healthy Towns Foundation, respectively. It is for use on the tennis courts in Veteran’s Park and the disc golf course located behind Smith and Heritage Elementary schools. To borrow a set for a day, you don’t need a CADL card but you should be at least 12 years old and give us a cellphone number.

The Summer Reading Challenge will begin June 1 but you can register on May 15 at https://cadl.beanstack.org/reader365. The SRC is a fun way for kids to maintain the reading level they achieved during the school year and win prizes. We have lots of performers and programs, crafts and community art projects this summer. We will provide more details next month in this column and online on our new CADL Stockbridge Facebook page. Now we have one place where we can post program and event information and show the Stockbridge community what’s happening at the library. Follow us @CADLStockbridge on Facebook.
