Boyden Library Events: Teddy Bear Picnic and Barn Babies

Boyden Library's Children Librarian Margi Rossetti shares information on two upcoming events in town.

Boyden Library’s annual Teddy Bear Picnic is scheduled to take place on Foxboro Common Thursday at 10 a.m., according to Margi Rossetti, Children's Librarian.
“Bring a blanket, your best bear or stuffed animal and a morning snack,” Rossetti said. “Entertainment will be provided by Miss Tina Stone.”

The picnic will be used to help jump start the Boyden Library’s Holiday Discretionary Fund Book Drive, according to Rossetti and participants are invited to contribute a new children’s book.

Rossetti asks that those planning to attend leave their pets at home for “public safety reasons.”
