Burlington Public Library News
Join us at the Library this summer - there are special Summer Reading Programs for everyone from babies through adults.
New Museum Pass
The Library is pleased to add another new pass to its collection – Einstein’s Workshop. “Einstein's Workshop in Burlington is an amazing space for kids to explore the creative side of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM)." Einstein’s Workshop has generously donated this pass that admits two children to their play space at no charge.
