Building community by sharing the wonders of learning, creating, and connecting with one another.
 
Hello South Country Community,
 
Families with children, spots are filling up for our July in-person programs! Register to decorate a cupcake, create a sea scene, learn about sharks, and more!  
 
Adults, need some downtime entertainment? Learn about streaming options like Netflix and Disney+ through All About Streaming (virtual via Zoom). How about some more movement? We still have spaces in our Tai Chi and Outdoor Qigong classes.
 
Teens, come find out what the Young Adult department is all about at Welcome to YA -- a fun afternoon of games, crafts, and snacks. Then compete against other teens at Brookhaven Free Library in our video game competition, Battle of the Libraries! 
 
Harry Potter Week begins July 25. Don't miss the fun activities and giveaways we have for young wizards and witches in the Children's and YA departments.
 
We hope your summer has started with sun and fun!
~ South Country Library
In the event of rain, the movie will be moved
inside the South Country Ambulance Company.
