Bricks, Bits, and Bots
We’ve got Lego bricks for all ages and stages, toddlers to tweens; everyone is welcome to drop in from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 2, and enjoy building together.

Mug & Muffin Social
As our first Adult Summer Reading Bingo ends, please stop by from 10 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 3, to discuss your summer adventures. Just bring a mug to fill with a warm or cold beverage and enjoy a muffin provided by the Friends of the Library.
Bring your weekly log and notes to reflect back on adventures.
Dance Around the World
Adults and children in grades 2 and up are invited to kick up your heels to live fiddle music by Tamarack with caller Paul Rosenberg. Enjoy a tradition of community dancing and music handed down from generations at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 5.
The Homespun Community Dancers will get everyone involved, especially those who have not danced before. Participants will have fun with the easy-to-learn American barn dance favorites: circles, squares, contras, as well as folk dances from around the world, including Ireland, The Netherlands, Russia, Polynesia, Israel, Latin America, France, Scandinavia, China and Africa.
The toe-tapping tunes consist of reels, jigs, polkas, hornpipes and waltzes. Instruments include fiddle, banjo, flute, penny whistle, clarinet, guitar, recorder, and percussion. While participation in the dancing is encouraged, it's also fun to just watch and listen. Please register.
