Special event for seniors
 Patrons in their golden years, folks who are over the hill and still climbing, elderly people in need of enrichment or entertainment, and plain old codgers are invited to the library for an afternoon of free activities on Monday, March 15 from 1:30 – 3pm. There will be more than 50 things to do—games, tours, refreshments, items to check out, computer stuff, and more.
Transportation to and from the Silver Foxes Den is available. Registration is not required.
Contact Jodi Starr at the Senior Center or Tessa Michaelson at the library for more information. |
