Wareham Town Offices Close Thursday for Independence Day Holiday
DATELINE: WAREHAM
All Wareham town offices and the Free Library will be shuttered Thursday, July 3, for the Independence Day holiday, while the library opens the week with a free lawn concert tonight and a run of summer programs through the holiday weekend.
TOWN HALL
All municipal offices — including Town Hall and the Wareham Free Library — will be closed Thursday, July 3, in observance of Independence Day. Residents who need in-person services should plan accordingly; the closure applies to all town departments.
For those who need a cool place to wait out the holiday heat, the town is operating a Cooling Center on July 2 and July 3 from noon to 3 p.m. National Grid gas meter replacement work is also underway in town; residents should watch for notices from the utility.
COMMUNITY & ARTS
The Wareham Free Library has a busy stretch of programming lined up heading into the holiday weekend. Tonight, Monday, June 29, the library hosts the Catnip Junkies for a Concerts on the Lawn performance beginning at 7 p.m. — a free outdoor show to kick off the week.
Tomorrow, Tuesday, June 30, the library's Summer Reading Dance Party Kick-Off with DJ Ooch gets underway at 1 p.m., a program listed separately on the town calendar as well. On Wednesday, July 1, the library presents "The Women of '76" at 6:30 p.m., a historical program timed neatly to the Independence Day week.
