Marshfield Clinic to host Pregnancy, Birth & Baby Expo

The Medford library hosted an annual May the Fourth Be With You program sponsored by our Friends of the Library and Literacy Council. They had 255 people come to the library and participate in crafts and games and win Star Wars Themed prizes. Special guests were the Mandalorian and Princess Leia.

Whether you’re a first-time parent, juggling a growing family or a grandparent wanting to help out, there is always something new to learn about how we can better care for our families.
