FEATURED EVENTS

The Poop Museum at Mattapan Branch Library

The Poop Museum covers the serious science of poop and pooping and is delivered with the silliness that you might imagine with a program about poop for children. It is the perfect combination of fun and fascinating facts, so that kids (and parents and caregivers) never forget what they learned. Suitable for children ages four to nine years old, however this program engages kids as young as three and as old as twelve. Parents and caregivers love it too!
