LIT - Library Initiative for Teens (plus snacks!)
This event is for students in grades 6-12. No adults, please. We're looking for teens to help make the library the best it can be! In this group we will have opportunities for you to help in a variety of ways - help make choices on what we should buy for the collection, create programs for all to attend, work on social media posts, and create decorations to brighten the Teen Space.
Living Independently at Home - first in a series for Solo Agers
Minuteman Senior Services will present resources that enable older adults to continue living at home. Learn what’s available; whether you need services today or want to know what’s available for future needs. While open to all, the presentation will focus on the unique needs of Solo Agers – those without the support of adult children or family. An audience discussion will follow the presentation. To register: call 781-721-7136 or visit www.jenkscenter.org
