EVENTS & REMINDERS

• : 10 a.m. and 7 p.m., , free. " Americans right to access fresh, healthy foods of their choice is under attack.  Farmageddon tells the story of small family farms that were providing safe foods to their communities and were forced to stop."
• : 6:30 p.m., , free. "This is a family evening program of campfire stories and songs for children of all ages accompanied by an adult.  It is a nice way to end the day together and an especially nice opportunity for working parents to visit the Library with a child.  It is also a cool spot on a hot summer evening.  This is a drop-in program, no registration required, but don’t forget to wear pajamas!"
