Teen tech time and Makerspace
Middle and high schoolers in grades six and up can use their imagination on Friday, July 8, at 2 p.m. to make something high-tech or low-tech. Use the Leap Motion, the 3D scanner, or 3D printer with our laptops. Tackle a building challenge in Minecraft, or program our new Ozobots.

Visit Graystone Stables
Children in kindergarten through grade three will meet Mrs. Brown at the stables on Monday, July 11, at 2 p.m., for an introduction to the wonderful world of horses and the sport of horseback riding. Directions to the stable will be provided to all online registrants.
Garden discussion
Our gardens should be thriving this time of year. Come to a discussion on Tuesday, July 12 at 7 p.m., to brainstorm solutions for challenges you are having in your garden, share your successes, and start and return, quote, or trade borrowed seeds. We will briefly review how to save seeds for those who are interested in contributing to the library. Bring in samples of vegetables or flowers you are growing, whether from the seed library collection or others. Identify seeds in our library collection for succession planting for the rest of the summer and into the fall. Local gardeners and Cornell Cooperative Extension Master Gardeners will facilitate the discussion and help answer questions. Beginner to advanced gardeners are welcome. Please register. Borrow, grow and share with the library.
