Community Partners Help Celebrate National Library Week

The Library is teaming up with some community partners to provide programs for the community during National Library Week (April 6 – April 12). On Sunday, April 6 at 4 p.m., there will be an “Author Talk with Fr. Frank Hakoola.” Fr. Frank is a Priest in Charge of St. Johns’ Episcopal Church in South Salem and St. Paul’s Chapel in Vista since 2023. He recently wrote Unwrapping the Greatest of Human Resources, a book which explores the nature and value of Spirituality to every human being.

On Monday, April 7 at 7 p.m., the Library is hosting another “Citizen Preparedness Training” workshop. This one-hour program, led by members of the National Guard, will go over the steps needed to take to prepare for an emergency. Participants will be advised on how to properly prepare for any natural or man-made disaster, including developing a family emergency plan and stocking up on emergency supplies. Each family that attends will receive one Preparedness backpack, filled with supplies.

Learn “How to Design a Kitchen Garden” at the Library on Thursday, April 10 at 7 p.m. This presentation, sponsored by the Lewisboro Garden Club, will be led by Mary Buri, of local business Mars Kitchen Garden.
