Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall
As summer winds down and the days start to cool, fall brings a fresh start for all of us. Kids may be heading back to school, but adults can find their own opportunities for growth and learning, too. Joining us at HarvestFest 2025 with a focus on autumn themed activities for adults, or coming to a class and learning how to use Libby app so you can read more books once the snow starts flying are just two of the options. Whether you pick up a new skill, explore a new hobby, or are planning for the future, the library is here to support you! |
