Middletown Library Will Host Fall Fest Sept. 20

MIDDLETOWN, NJ — The Middletown Public Library will host its Fall Fest from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. September 20.

It will be a day of fun, creativity and community spirit for all ages. The festival will be at the library, with activities happening indoors and outdoors.

“Fall Fest is a great way for the community to enjoy crafts, music, games and history together, and the perfect time to celebrate Library Card Sign-up Month,” said Middletown Library Director Kate Hammond.

Stop by the Library Information Desk to sign up for a card and earn entries into a month-long raffle for a gift bag, filled with goodies generously donated by Trader Joe’s of Middletown and the Friends of MTPL. In addition, there will be special raffles held on the day of Fall Fest, giving attendees even more chances to win.
