Lynn Commission Pushes for More Female Empowerment Initiatives

A city commission is renewing efforts to expand programs supporting women and girls in Lynn, according to a report published this week, while the Lynn Public Library rolled out its lineup of August family and teen programming.

COMMUNITY & ARTS

The Lynn Public Library has set its summer hours through September 7: all departments open Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., with the library closed weekends and on the Labor Day holiday. The library's "Plant a Seed, Read" summer reading program remains open to children, teens, and adults, with separate registration tracks for each age group.

Looking to August, the library has several recurring programs on its calendar: "Messy Mornings with the LPL" for young children, the "Teen Entrepreneur Speaker Series," and "Teen Tech Space" sessions, all repeating weekly through the month. A "Movie Night" program is also scheduled twice in August. Elsewhere in the city's cultural calendar, the Greater Lynn Community Coalition-linked "GLCC's Lynn Harbor Park Walk" community event is planned for early August.
