Going Places

Summer is a great time to travel, discover new adventures, and explore fresh areas of life. That’s just what we are doing here at the library. Building on the success of the first round of our adult programming series, Live and Learn, and drawing from the expertise of our local community we are continuing to develop our programming services with a second go around. Our theme for the summer is "Going Places" and our programmer, Adrienne Bourne, has put together a great event line up.

We officially kicked things off last night with local author Susan Wingate speaking about her new book Of the Law. Other upcoming Live and Learn events include:

  Meet activist, author, traveler, and Hip Mama Ariel Gore.
