Summer Program Spotlight - Buzz is "What's Buzzin' @ Memorial Hall Library!
Beth A. Kerrigan, Coordinator of Children's Services
Town Manager Reginald "Buzz" Stapczynski participated in a storytime for
3-5 year old's. See a picture here: www.mhl.org/kids/programs/index.htm
He read "Teacher for President" and wore his What's Buzzin' t-shirt. The audience was very receptive to this guest reader.
