“The Case of the Borrowed Bear”

Imagine walking into the Calvert library to find that it has been transformed into a crime scene! JCCL needs patrons of all ages to investigate the scene, gather and test the evidence, and eliminate suspects in order to close the case… and you thought the library was just about borrowing books!

Not convinced you’re master sleuth material?  That’s ok. Just drop in to meet Franklin, JCCL’s new fluffy friend and as a bonus have any evidence of your fines wiped clean (patron must be present) – all this in honor of Connecticut’s Take Your Child to the Library Day!

In the event of inclement weather, the library will follow the Franklin School District schedule.  If the school is delayed or closed, JCCL will also be delayed or closed.  On Saturday, please call after 9:30am to check if open.  Programs will be rescheduled; check the website for dates and times or call during open hours.
