It’s week 7. You have earned this picture of a goat. Goats are, of course, adorable, they eat invasive species, and they look like they have a great sense of humor! Find something to laugh about this week with online Library programs.

For live programs, join us via Zoom on your computer, laptop, or smartphone. Register for programs on the Library’s website at www.stratfordlibrary.org / Events page, and we will send you the Zoom invitation to join the program. Email us with questions at childrens@stratfordlibrary.org
