It’s a Mystery!
Our adult summer reading program begins June 21st and will run through August 21st. The next few months are going to be full of suspense and intrigue here at the library. We’ve got a whole new game board and some great adult crafts, but if you want to know the details you’ll have to come in and ask because ...It’s a Mystery!
Game Night In We are having a Virtual Game Party on Thursday, June 17th at 6:00 pm. Guided by live Hosts, this experience consists of a series of challenges and games that the group competes in. The games are all original group trials that will allow you to earn points for your team. Register for this event on our website. Space is limited so don’t wait to sign up!
Patio Knitting With Dawn will be on Tuesdays, from 3 to 4:30 pm outside on the patio. We suggest that you bring bug spray and sunscreen. Call us for a Zoom link in the event of rain. Any handcrafters are welcome to join the fun!
Adult Craft of the month is available to pick up on June 1st while supplies last. This month it is an adorable mason jar hummingbird feeder. Lesley will go live on Facebook on June 10th to walk you through the project.
