Milton punches above its size on programming. It's Story Time and Yoga For Kids both run most weeks, and Little Learners, Baby Playday, Feeling Rocks, Viking Village Playdate, LEGO Club, and a Tween & Teen Chess Club all appearing on the calendar — check the listing for ages and times. PAWS for People: Read! runs regularly — kids read aloud to a dog — and Furry Friends with the Humane Animal Partners lands the second Tuesday of each month, 11:30am-1pm.
