It’s June again--can you believe it?--which means it’s time for some How-To here at LPL. In years past, this has meant a festival (whether IRL or virtual) packed with local experts sharing their skills and knowledge. This year, we’re savoring small batches of our community’s know-how throughout the month of June. Join us for How-To Tuesdays! You’ll find us out on the Library Lawn on Tuesday evenings in June from 6:30-7:30*, and each session will feature two presenters. Woven throughout this year’s How-To sessions are two threads: one is our Summer Reading theme--Tails & Tales--which highlights the animal friends in our lives. The second thread is wellness. As we emerge from a season that has tested all of us in unforeseen ways, we want to offer suggestions to support wholeness and healing.
One thing that hasn’t changed is our hope that you will be inspired by your neighbors’ know-how to dig deeper into a topic or skill that interests you. And as always, LPL has a wealth of resources to help you along your learning journey. Here are a few suggestions for further exploration:
