The first meeting will take place in the Craft Room at the Wellesley Free Library Main Branch at 530 Washington St. We'll talk about letterboxing, then kids in grade K - 5 can make a simple "signature stamp", decorate a logbook, then search for letterboxes hidden both inside and outside the Main Branch library!

Subsequent meetings are optional and will take place at the Fells Branch (July 14, 308 Weston Rd.) and the Hills Branch (July 28, 210 Washington St.) to search for letterboxes hidden there!
