Teams of three will use their senses to guess the food inside the stress ball! To make it even more challenging, each round you will lose one of your senses, whether it’s touch, sight, or smell. If you guess correctly, hooray! If you guess incorrectly, you and your teammates will have to eat it! Some things will be tasty, others, not so much!

Free and open to all rising 6th-12th graders. Registration is required.

Plant and care for the library’s native plant butterfly and pollinator garden!  Learn about the importance of native plants and how you can help.  Do crafts and participate in citizen science activities, where ordinary citizens/community members help scientists by gathering local data.  Help the library raise monarch caterpillars to be released as butterflies at the end of the summer. 

Adults, teens, and children are welcome, but children aged 8 and younger must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times.  Please register.
