Good afternoon Library friends, I hope this letter finds you well. While it doesn't feel like fall yet, it is September. Here's some exciting news from the library: as of Tuesday September 8, all 9 of our library locations will be open. Some hours and services have changed, so please check out this page for all the details. All libraries will be closed on Monday September 7 for Labor Day. After taking a break from programming in August, virtual events resume in September. Some events will be live-streamed on Facebook and YouTube. While you can watch these any time, the best experience will be during the live video when you can ask questions and we'll answer them in the video. Other events will take place via Zoom. Please be sure to register for these events, so we can send you the Zoom invitation. Some of our events in September: Virtual Cooking Class Series: Tuesdays from September 1-October 20 Johnna will go through a whole day of meals in this virtual series. Classes will alternate between adult and kids' recipes. We will provide ingredient kits for some of the recipes, so you can follow along at home! Some recipes are "Take and Make" which means that registered participants will be able to pick up kits for those recipes ahead of time.
