With March just around the corner, the library is gearing up for our annual St. Patrick’s Day scavenger hunt! Stop by to help solve the mystery of who snuck in and scattered rainbows, shamrocks, and glitter all over the place.
We’ll also be hosting two special days focused on fascinating optical illusions. Plus, our teen cooking class is back! This month, participants will learn how to make crispy French fries using an air fryer.
We can’t wait to see you at the library!
