Also please watch for our update on programming for the fall either through this column or on our Facebook page and our website
There will be no programs for children until the second week of September. Then everything will start anew!

Children’s Programs:
TD Summer Reading Program:
The Grand Finale –The “Fire and Ice” show was an overwhelming success with all 50 of our attendees, parents and children amazed by the incredible and exciting science experiments conducted by the Mad Scientist. The spectacular demonstrations really made an impact on how much fun science can be.
Paws to Read: Mac and Darlene were here on Monday, August 25th. The 4 young people that read to Mac found it a very relaxing and fun time. Now that school is starting, we have changed the time to 4:00 on Thursdays. I know that the 4 young folks will be looking forward to coming back so if your child would like to try this special treat, please call and book a spot for next week, Thursday, September 12 or any following Thursdays.

Adult Events:
Rose’s Book Club – Thursday, August 28 at 2 p.m. There will be lots and lots of new books. Join us for an interesting and stimulating year ahead with new authors and new books and lots of friendly debate and discussion.
