Note from the Director
It's that time of year, when school is winding down and our Summer Reading Program is gearing UP! We have fun activities, events, and prizes for all ages this year. There are separate programs for children aged 0-10, teens & tweens aged 11-18, and adults 18+. Sign-up starts next Tuesday, May 27th for all age groups!
We are also pleased to announce a new monthly program, the Alpha-Gal Syndrome Support Group. This group will meet on the last Thursday of each month, starting on June 26th at 4PM. See below for more details.
Our ongoing Friends of the Library book sale in Room 192-B remains a big hit! If you're doing some spring cleaning and have books, DVDs, or CDs to part with, we'd love your donations. You can drop them off anytime the book sale is open, same as the library’s regular hours.
All my best,
Christina Danos
