Above: The library’s Pajama Story Time is just one of many kid-focused activities offered this summer
Today was the last day of school in Southborough, and judging by the crowd of kids sitting outside on the grass in front of the Southborough House of Pizza today, your youngsters are looking forward to a long summer off. But how about you parents?
If you’re in need of activities for the kids this summer, here are some suggestions.

Events at the Southborough Library
The Southborough Library’s popular Pajama Story Time series kicks off on Wednesday, July 7. That along with other events like magic shows, a bubble show, a juggling show, and drop-in craft days are sure to engage the kids this summer. Take a look through the library’s calendar of events for more information.

Museums are a good bet for rainy days and sunny days alike.
