Have you ever gone star-gazing? Now's your chance.

Please sign up by Friday, April 21 to let us know you are coming and to get take-home directions to The Quarry Farm and details of potential "Cloud Date".

All children must be accompanied by a responsible parent or guardian.)
The library will host a Bullet Journaling Workshop on April 20 at 6 p.m. Find out how one journaler uses this system, and how journaling can cater to your own needs. Please register by Mon., Apr. 17. This program is open to ages 6th grade through adult, and participants should bring their own blank journal (one with dots/graphs is helpful but not necessary) and any markers/pens/pencils they plan to use.
