The Middleboro Public Library will kick off its Shark Week program with a presentation on different types of sharks on Wednesday, July 24 at 2 p.m. 

Join marine biologist and president of New England Coastal Wildlife Alliance Carol “Krill” Carson, for a family program on the different sharks that can be found in the waters off New England. Learn about basking sharks, white sharks, mako sharks, and many more.

This presentation will be followed by viewing of marine artifacts (shark jaws, shark teeth, etc.), and arts and craft activities, in which participants will be able to make their own shark tooth necklaces. 

All ages are welcome, and no registration is required. 

This event will be followed by a story-time session about Sharks on Saturday, July 27. 

Story-time will be held at 10:30 a.m. No registration is required. With stories, songs and ocean activities it's sure to be a fish-tastic time.

This program is designed for children and accompanying adults. Plan to attend and be engaged with your child for this program. Drop-offs will not be permitted.
