Starting Wednesday, July 1, families can drop in for Messy Mornings with the LPL, a hands-on children's program running from 10 to 11 a.m. every Tuesday through August. Teens have their own recurring slot: Teen Tech Space runs every Wednesday from 3 to 5 p.m., also continuing through August 6.

Residents should note the library is operating on modified summer hours through at least July 2: Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; closed Saturdays and Sundays. The library will also be closed Thursday, July 3.
