Looking for something to do with the kids this afternoon?  Stop in the library today (July 9th) at 2:00 to see a Traveling Pond.  Educators from Dyken Pond Environmental Education Center will be here with their pond full of fish, frogs, salamanders and insects. The kids will be able to touch these creatures and learn how they survive in their environment.  The program will be one hour long.

Tonight, we will be having a Middle School book club.  Do you have a middle schooler who loves to read?  Bring them to the library tonight to discuss their favorite books and learn about other books they may like.  The club will be led by recent college grad Lindsey Bush.  From 6:30 to 7:30 in our program room.

Interested in Solar Energy?  Have you noticed all the panels popping up on businesses and homes in the area?  Join us Monday, July 7th at 6:00 PM for a discussion about solar energy, what it is, and learn about the process of community purchasing.  To see more about this presentation click here.  The program will be given by Solarize Troy–a group of volunteer solar professionals, sustainability advocates and community organizers associated with Transition Troy.  Check out their website here
