Off the Shelf: March Down to Bridgeport Public Library in Month of March for Dozens of Programs for All
By Savanna Draper on February 28, 2024 from Off the Shelf
As we head into March, “march” on down to the library to attend a program! This March we are offering nearly 50 programs and events for all ages including children, teens, families, and adults. We strive to provide something for everyone’s interests. Also coming in March are our new seasonal brochures, which will cover three months’ worth of programs and events at a time, so be sure to pick one up the next time you’re in the library.
For children, teens, and families this month we have quite a few new programs along with some old favorites. Join us every Tuesday at 3pm 
for all ages Chess Club, every Wednesday at 12pm for our Brilliant Beginnings storytime, and every Thursday at 3pm for our Little Learners storytime. New this month (beginning March 11) join us every Monday at 11am for Juicebox Social, which is an opportunity for children and parents to socialize with each other and enjoy refreshments.
