From the library...
September is National Self-Care Awareness Month, and the library wants to make sure that you take time for yourself. Whether that’s a spa day, curling up with a good book, or meditating, take a moment and fill your own cup. Recharge and relax - it’s important. If you’re looking for other ways to practice self-care, we have the resources to help. Just stop by and chat with our staff, who would be more than happy to help!
In need of a gift for Grandparent’s Day? We’ve got just the program for you. On the 6th through 10th, we’re having a “Create a Keepsake Interview” program, where a younger relative can have a conversation with their older relative about their life and experiences.
Yo Ho Ho! Is it a pirate’s life for you? Join us on the 12th for a special “Cosplay for Scallywags” program with Missy Renfroe, owner of R.U. Board Games. She will be providing tips and tricks for creating affordable pirate cosplay.
