What does it mean to "know nothing"? Attend library events this month to find out! 🌚
It’s okay to not know it all. Join the library as we explore “Know Nothing” this August. Dive into the unknown world of black holes and learn about the Antebellum South era in the United States. Explore William Shakespeare’s Macbeth in a two-part series. Learn simple ways to reduce wildfire risk to your home and get survival-savvy with a wilderness safety course before your next adventure. Kids can help Professor Universe solve the carbon conundrum and teens can participate in an escape room at the library. All programs are free and open to the public.

"Don't judge a book by its cover"... yeah, right. We asked library staff to rate a book based on its cover art alone, and then challenged them to share their last read for the next person to judge. Which of these book are you checking out based on its cover?
Fun fact: Summer with the Library is still going through the end of August! ☀️ There's plenty of time to complete a reading log and grab a free book before summer is over. Visit dpl.pub/summer to register and learn more ☺️
