 June 7 - ICE CREAM SOCIAL sponsored by the Friends of the Randolph Public Library.

We have a winner! See who won the Seven Contest 2025.

New STEAM Kits available.

Thank you to the Friends of the RPL for purchasing these 7 new Folkmanis Puppets for the Children's Room.

Have you seen or heard any of these animals in Randolph.

Congratulations to Bruce Kirmmse, winner of the 2025 Seven Contest!

This year's winner is also the person submitting a guess from the longest distance from Randolph --

 Copenhagen, Denmark. And it just so happened that the Librarian was in Copenhagen at the time to tell him that he won!

Thank you to Howie Wemyss who was the "watcher of the seven" this year.

As many of you know, the seven filled back up with snow the following week

and many people asked if we were going to open it up for round 2!

We did not, but I think this is the first year since we started the contest in 2018 that it filled back up.

Thank you to everyone who entered this year's contest. Better luck next year -- you never know what is going to happen!
