This summer, the New Hampshire Boat Museum (NHBM) will offer two Children’s Story Hours in collaboration with the Moultonborough Public Library. Families with children ages 2 through 6 are invited to participate in the free program
“We are excited to partner with the Moultonborough Public Library and host story hour for young families,” said NHBM Executive Director Martha Cummings. “It is a fun way to introduce boating through reading and the families can learn more about NHBM and other educational programs.”
Children’s Story Hours are offered at NHBM’s Moultonborough Campus on Thursdays, July 11 and September 12, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Librarians read stories during the first 30 minutes, while children are invited to participate in a craft activity for the second half of the event.
In addition to Children’s Story Hours, other NHBM programs geared toward young children include Lake Discovery Drop In Days (Fridays, July 19 and August 16 from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.). Themed around lake ecology, arts, crafts, and games, Lake Discovery Drop In Days are free and take place at NHBM’s Moultonborough campus.
“Families are welcome to stop by and participate anytime during the two-hour program,” added Cummings. “We want families to experience our new campus and feel right at home here.”
