A representative from CHET (a 529 College Savings program) will be at Prosser to answer questions about this year’s “Dream Big” competition. Stop by their table anytime between 3:00 and 4:30 for information. The contest is open for students in kindergarten through grade 12.
For students who would like a quiet space to work, we’ll open the Community Room from 4:30 to 6:00. Students must work on their own, but the library will provide paper, pencils, and coloring materials.
We have held Community Conversations. We’ve had Dinner and Discourse. Now we invite you to Brewed Awakenings. Over coffee or tea, we’ll meet monthly on Wednesdays to chat about a different topic each month, listen to each other’s thoughts and ideas, and attempt to strengthen our community by coming together. Curious? Tell a friend or neighbor and join us! Read more >
