The ABCs of Bike Maintenance

Knowledgeable instructors from MassBike will go through the basics in an hour-long presentation to cover how to diagnose your bike's ABCs (Air, Brakes, and Chain). You'll come away with bit of home-mechanic know-how, so you can check the condition of your bike, and also fix your bike when things start to go awry. Free and open to the public, funded by the Friends.

Raising Babies with the Audubon Habitat Education Center
Tue. June 16 at 7:00. The world seems alive with new life in spring. Bird babies are abundant and other animals are busy with babies, too. But life as a baby is not always an easy one! What do these animal babies need in order to survive and how do they get it? Join Mass Audubon Habitat's Barbara Bates and learn how some of our local birds, amphibians, insects, and mammals manage to live past infancy.  This talk is suitable for families and adults. Please note, live animals will not be featured in this program.
Email Rebecca    rshea@hwlibrary.org for an invitation to the Zoom meeting.
