Hello, and Happy Friday!


As the seasons shift, we’re excited to recognize Climate Preparedness Week (September 24th- 30th) at the library! This week is dedicated to equipping you with the knowledge and tools to better understand and address climate-related challenges. 



As a proud partner in this annual, statewide event, we are thrilled to present a fantastic lineup of activities centered on sustainable living, climate science, and actionable steps you can take. Our events, occurring throughout this week and beyond, are designed to engage and inspire, whether you're new to these topics or seeking to deepen your knowledge. Read more in our Climate Preparedness blog post. 


Also, don’t forget about our teen movie this afternoon. It’s a half day of school, and what better way to unwind from the week than by watching Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle?. Hope to see you there (hint: there will be snacks)!
