For families, the "Cookie Creations" event on July 9 from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. is billed as a tasty storytime followed by cookie decorating fun. Kids can enjoy crafting and consuming their sweet treats in this session presented in partnership with Confectious Creations. Similarly, garden enthusiasts might be interested in "Color Our World Green," slated for July 16, where a storytime session exploring gardens, fruits, and the natural wonders will be paired with a food tasting and a craft activity. This event, from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., will be led by an Chatham County Master Gardener volunteer, as announced on the Chatham County website.
Book lovers can support the library and grab some summer reads at the Friends of the Wren Memorial Library Book Sale on July 18th. The "Fill a Bag" sale, running from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., offers a $5 deal where you can fit as many books as possible into a bag.
