> Kids Summer Reading Club: Beech Reads @ Bedford’s ‘Beech House’
Líf Books is located in unit 1B in Bedford’s historic yellow Beech House located next to a majestic copper beech tree and garden and just steps from Bedford Farms Ice Cream. The property used to be part of a dairy farm that was run for generations by a local family.
June 15 - Aug 25 @ Líf Books: Read at the shop, under the beech tree or on our charming porch. Cool down after summer camp at Líf books, and hang out at the kids summer reading club. The club is a great way to ensure summer reading makes it into the kids’ schedule. (This is not a drop-off for kids under age 10).

AGES 5-12 Thursdays 3:15-4:00 (limit 12)
