Hoopla audiobooks, ebooks and graphic novels now available with your Upton Library card.

Here you'll find links for lots of literature-based and seasonal crafts from recent or upcoming storytimes. A suggested picture book has been paired with each craft and is available to order through the CW/MARS network. Other Grab & Go crafts are available weekly in our Children's Area, while supplies last. Most crafts can also be found on our Upton Town Library Pinterest page. Contact the library if you need any help at 508-529-6272, or Children's & Young Adult Librarian, Lee Ann Murphy, at lmurphy@cwmars.org.
