Sweet Treat Jamboree!

Saturday, August 1 @ 3 p.m.

Cake Picnic has become Sweet Treat Jamboree! Rather than restricting yourself to just cake, we invite you to bring a sweet treat of any kind to the library to share. Cakes, cookies, brownies, whatever delightful dessert or pastry you feel like making that can be divided into 30-40 pieces. We ask that you also bring the recipe to share!

The golden rule is: one person, one dessert! Please register as an individual and bring a treat of your choice.

Need a pan or other kitchenware? The Library of Things has you covered!

Chintimini Raptor Program

Wednesday, August 12, 2 – 4 p.m.

Join us for an incredible program celebrating raptors with the Chintimini Wildlife Center. They will be bringing two raptor ambassadors as well as raptor biofact displays to extend the learning. Raptors are incredible birds, and what better way to explore the unknown than by learning about some of our avian neighbors?

NOTE: Parents and guardians will be expected to help keep their children quiet and calm. These are live animals who do not respond well to being startled. Thank you for being sure this is the right program for you.
