Join us for a seasonal escape room on a WBSD no-school day! This activity is geared for grades 1-5, but we will allow parents to join the fun to help the students "escape"! Each session lasts approximately 45 minutes. Registration begins by October 1st by phone or in-library. Our escape rooms involve unlocking a variety of locks to get inside a box. (The room is not actually locked and you can come and go if necessary.)
Learn how to increase the life of your carved pumpkin, how to make lovely hostess gifts, and get tips for festive gatherings with essential oils!
Though Droughtlander is longer than expected, gear up for season five with a book chat. Gather with fellow "Outlander" fans to chat about the books and show, led by local expert Jody Allen.
Interfaith Caregivers of Washington County will be educating the community on the topic of Senior Frauds and Scams. Please come for an overview of the many different kinds of scams and how to handle them. We can not stop scams from happening - but we can educate ourselves on how not to fall for them. Let's work together to educate the community on all the different scams that are happening to you and millions of others.

She recommends, Lessons from Lucy: The Simple Joys of an Old, Happy Dog by Dave Barry
Comedian Dave Barry realizes that his dog, Lucy, is dealing with old age far better than he is. She has more friends, fewer worries, and way more fun. So Dave decides to figure out how Lucy manages to stay so happy, to see if he can make his own life happier by doing the things she does. Super cute and a fast read!
