Tuesday 5/20 @ 5:30pm: Cardboard & Lego City: Do you love to construct? This program combines two favorite building materials into one exciting program with a different themed challenge each time. Children ages 5-10 can use either Lego or cardboard, safe tools, and tape to build an innovative creation in this once a month montage of fun.
Thursday 5/22 @ 5:30pm: Fantasy Fans Unite!: Online teen book and activity meet up. Join on Zoom to talk about your favorite fantasy book.

Saturday 5/24 and Monday 5/26: CLOSED for Memorial Day
Wednesday 5/28 @ 5:30pm: Garden Party Story Time: Join us for a relaxing and educational evening. Come dressed in your pajamas, if you wish. Bring your favorite stuffed friend and a blanket and get cozy. We'll celebrate the arrival of spring by reading garden related stories, making a springtime craft, having a snack, and play together.
Thursday 5/29 @ 6:30pm: Thursday Evening Book Club: Join us for a discussion of The Strange Case of Jane O. by Karen Thompson Walker. Copies of the book are available at the library.
Tuesday 6/3 @ 2-4pm: Drop-in Tech Help: Drop by for basic computer navigation, basic smartphone and tablet use, general internet instruction, and how to use electronic library resources (like Libby).
Tuesday 6/3 @ 6pm: The Cottage Garden of Earthly Delights: Humble Stories in Food and Legend: When you think of magical foods in fairy tales, you probably don’t think of cabbages. And while you may associate garlic with vampires, did you know that corn helped fuel the vampire craze? Or that turnips are surprisingly controversial. Take a stroll with folklorist and author Varla Ventura through the kitchen garden as we discover the remarkable history and lore behind common vegetables. This program will take place at 19 Carter.
