inspired by Harry Potter. You'll

Advance registration is required. Time slots available from

12:00pm-4:30pm each day.

Teams of 2-8 players per session. This event is geared

toward a family experience, but it may be too complex for

small children. All children must be accompanied by an

adult.

In the Woods by Tana French

Tuesday, Aug. 27 at 7

On a warm evening in the summer of 1984, three

children do not return from the dark and silent woods.

When the police arrive, they find only one of the children gripping a tree

trunk in terror and unable to recall a single detail of

the previous hours.

Twenty years later, the found boy, Rob Ryan, is a detective on the Dublin

Murder Squad and keeps his past a secret. But when

a twelve-year-old girl is found murdered in the

same woods, he and Detective Cassie Maddox—

his partner and closest friend—find themselves

investigating a case chillingly similar to the

previous unsolved mystery.

Tuesday, August 6 at 7pm: Del's Community Chair Yoga We use chairs to support our foundation so that we can move with ease while enjoying the benefits of the yoga experience. We will work on breathing, strengthening, stretching and just being in the present with awesome people! Please bring an open heart and a mat or blanket so we can seal our practice with a wonderful shavasana.

Wednesday, August 7th at 7pm: Experience the National Parks with the Outdoors for Everyone Project

(Continued from page 5)

We have very exciting news to announce…we’re getting some library updates! We’ve

met with a local design firm and have made plans to bring in carpet, some new furniture, and some new features. One of my favorite features is a small group study

area, but I’m also excited that we’ll have an updated library layout that will better meet the needs of our staff and our community (see pictured plans of the new layout). These updates are certainly exciting, but we’ll need a lot of help to pull it all

off. We will need plenty of help boxing up materials, dismantling shelves, clearing out our space, and then putting it all back again. We hope to incorporate as many community volunteers as possible to accomplish the feat. Community Service hours

for high school students will be honored. If you’d like to help with our efforts to update our space, please contact me at mgoins@htlibrary.org or (586)329-1261 to

sign up.

More ways to help will be forthcoming. A small "wish list" of items that we had hoped our project would include, but our budget did not allow is coming soon. We could use

help raising funds for those items as well.

The soft target date for our project completion is late September/early October. We’re

still working to finalize our plans, but we also wanted everyone to be aware that these changes are happening, we need your help, and that the library may be closed for a

short period of time while these updates happen. Thank you so much for your help, your support, and most of all your patience as our project develops.

Looking forward to the new look!

~Melissa
