Lions, tigers, and bears! Oh my!

Well maybe more like snakes, owls, and spiders... depending on what the Utica Zoo Mobile brings to us tomorrow night.

Join us at 6:30 pm to see! Also, at 4 pm we'll be making some zooey crafts, so stop in.

Story Swap 6/26

Pictures from the "Old Folks Story Swap" today. Thank you to all who joined us for our "celebration" theme. We all send our best wishes to Richard S. Woodman Esq., Dick, for a Happy 96th Birthday on Monday, June 29th. Notice the "back row" in the picture above... I think that might be a row of trouble, and, therefore, might hold some of the best stories of the area!

Join us for the next "Story Swap" coming up @ 4:30 pm on July 10th & 24th, and Aug. 14th. Note the time change, but it works perfectly to come and share some stories over coffee and then to head out for a Friday fish fry!

Remember tomorrow is the last Saturday the library will be open for the summer.

Green Mountain Coffee & New Books

Come to the library and enjoy a cup of Green Mountain coffee or tea.
We have different flavors all priced at just $1.00 a cup.
