This program will be filled with Comedy, Story Telling, Mr. Book, Bony Tony, the Caveman, Sylvester the world’s largest bookworm (or is he a serpent who just loves to read)? This fun-filled show will come straight from books and famous stories. Each piece of magical adventure is introduced by a story from a book.

This show is a wild adventure consisting of meeting Dinosaurs, Mummies, Princesses, Foreign Lands and so much more, all while having the time of their lives! Think Indiana Jones meets Jumanji!

Thank you to everyone who joined us this morning as Patrick Miller of Miller's Wildlife presented Birds of Prey. We had a fantastic time and beautiful weather!

Join us tomorrow as we welcome Patrick Miller of Miller's Wildlife. He will present a program on Birds of Prey.

Program begins at 10:30am will be held in the shade of Locust Street Park. Please bring a blanket or lawn chair to sit on!

Have you ever wondered what it takes to be a bird of prey? These mighty hunters, also known as raptors, are specialized to catch their own meals–but the way each species does it is unique! During our Birds of Prey program, we will take you under our wing and teach you about the distinct characteristics of a variety of raptors. From “feathered missiles” to “wolves of the sky,” this program will take your understanding of raptors to new heights!

Patrick will bring live birds of prey for participants to learn about. There will be artifacts for participants to learn and interact with.

Come cool off at the library with The Classics Club this evening! They will meet at 6:00pm to discuss "The Book Thief" by Marcus Zusak.

All are welcome to attend!

Come out and beat the heat this evening! Crochet with Kasey meets at 6:30pm.

They will continue working on their summer project: Veteran's Blankets for Hospice.
