Adults can craft their own shore décor as we make nautical luminaries. Fill terrarium globes with sand, tea lights, and beach items and tie them with twine to create a fishnet affect. You can hang the luminaries from a tree or sit them on a table.  We will provide the Mod Podge and other materials; you provide the creativity.  Call 330-545-2508 to sign up.

On Wednesday, August 3 at 6 PM adults can visit exotic locations without leaving the community room during Seven Wonders of the Seven Seas Armchair Travel. There won’t be any cancelled flights or double-booked seats as library staff introduce you to Thingvellir National Park in Iceland and Ithaa in the Maldives—the world’s first underwater restaurant. Nobody will have to be scuba-certified to explore the Underwater Post Office in Japan, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, Jellyfish Lake in Palau, and other fascinating locales. Registration is required.
