The newly fenced in play area at the Whitman Public library will be the site of several future programs, including scavenger hunts and obstacle courses

North Easton Savings Bank has donated $3,000 to the Whitman Public Library to cover the cost of creating a safe, enclosed space for young children and their families visiting the library.
