Do you have extra plants and want to share with fellow gardeners? Come to our Houseplant Exchange on Saturday, September 14th to swap your surplus plants and take home some new-to-you blooms!

You've heard so many of the local stories about this famous creature, but interest about the Mothman continues! Chris Parsons will be at the Pomeroy Library to discuss perspectives on the famous Point Pleasant cryptid. 

Read to four-legged friends at the library! Trained therapy dogs will be at the library eager to hear a story from readers aged 5 - 10.  We hope these readers will gain confidence by reading to non-judgement (and cute) listeners! We'll have a book nook with soft seating.

More info about the dogs:

• Kelsey Hunter will bring along her two companions, Willow and Sadie. Willow and Sadie are volunteers at Camden Clark Hospital where they see patients in hopes of brightening their days.

Presented by Chris Parsons from the Mutual UFO Network, this program will cover unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and creatures like bigfoot. For more information, visit www.mufon.com.

Get extra practice with those spelling words, find a quiet place to read, and even help out others during this group afterschool session for kids in grades K - 6.
