Adulting Class: Finances with Don Kramer 

Being an adult means that you have to know certain skills that are often taught the hard way. The library is holding a series of adulting classes to help you learn those skills from local experts! In this second session on Tuesday, March 19 at 6:30 pm, Don Kramer, local financial expert, will present tips and tricks for budgeting, talk about the importance of saving money, and give some basic advice for stock trading. For ages 13 and up.

Doodle Off!

Show off your skills in the fine field of doodling on Saturday, March 23 at 2:00 pm. Participants will face off  in a series of rounds where they will be given a random topic to doodle and given only one minute to make their drawing. A judge will pick their favorites to move on to the next round. The winner of the event will receive a gift card. For ages 12 and up. Registration is requested. This event is sponsored by TACKL.
