Back to School at CLN
At Community Library Network we're talking about Back to School this month. It's not quite as exciting for most adults as it is for kids--no first-day outfit shopping, no lockers to decorate with magazine cutouts of your favorite bands, and no cutting up paper grocery bags to cover your Algebra book and debating what the first doodle on the cover should be. But maybe some of the following programs will spark that same creative energy and get you excited to learn something new or meet-up with like-minded community members. |
