From the Lake Placid Public Library: Our first Homeschool event is Flying Fun, this Thursday, September 29th (10:00 a.m.). We’ll explore principles of flight, engineering, and innovation with a read-aloud, discussion, and some seriously fun hands-on activities. Homeschool Thursdays are geared for children in grades K-6, but other ages are welcome. Although not necessary, if you know you’ll be attending this week send us an email as it helps with materials and set-up needs.

Please note, free parking is available in the St. Eustace Church lot – just leave a note on your dashboard indicating you are at this library event. As always, happy reading!
