This Program is For the Birds

Home décor stores are guaranteed to stock bird-themed items, and on August 27 at 6:00 p.m., you’ll have a chance to make your own.  Create adorable avian friends out of cardboard or yarn—or both—and then sprinkle them throughout your house, make them a comfortable perch, or let them fly on a mobile.  Registration is required, ages 15 and up.

Fearless Flyers

Do you have what it takes to create the furthest flying paper airplane out there? Then Fearless Flyers is for you! Pilots will gather at the library on Monday, August 5 at 6:00 p.m. Fold, practice throw, adjust fold, practice some more until the real competition begins. Be the one to throw the furthest and win yourself a remote controlled airplane. This program is open to patrons of all ages; make sure to call the library at 517-647-6981 to register!
