What to Expect
Millsboro is a neighborhood-scale branch rather than a destination library, and the kids' calendar reflects that. StoryTime is the one repeating kids' slot on the posted feed — and only a couple of dates are showing — while the rest is occasional: Mr. Boom Boom's Play Patrol in the fall, a holiday sing-along in December. The library's own page points families toward its children's programs, so more may be running than the public feed shows — but we'd rather you check than drive over on a guess.
What you can count on is the basics done free: books, a free library card, and long weekday hours starting at 9am.
Parking isn't confirmed here, so look before you drive.
Who It's Best For
StoryTime is the little-kid slot that repeats. The music programs on the calendar — Mr. Boom Boom's Play Patrol and a holiday sing-along — are posted without ages. Nothing else is confirmed, so check the calendar for times and ages before you go.
