COME TO CFL’S JULY FAMILY THURSDAYS
Special events take place on four Thursdays in July beginning on July 9th. These programs are for the whole family - all ages – and begin at 2 pm. They’re held in the Fellowship Hall of the First Presbyterian Church on the Park, right near the library. There is no charge, and no registration is required. The program on the 9th features “Brer Rabbit in Love” – oh my! – and is presented by our favorite puppet theater group, Puppets with Pizazz (sic.) Put the date on your calendar and watch for more details of the remaining three Family Thursdays.

The exciting teen program, Express Yourself @ Your Library kicks off with guest presenter Rainbow Crabtree who will give a workshop on cultural body art with a focus on henna. Krista and Rainbow will demonstrate the use of henna and, using stencils, will apply it to those who want to express themselves with a bit of body art. All the fun begins on Monday, July 6th, beginning at 3 pm.

KILL – A - WATT METERS
