While the air quality has improved since yesterday, not everyone is having fun being outside today.

We're still holding our monthly Community Cookout today at 5pm, but we will be setting up tables inside to eat. We have the grill set up on the back lawn for anyone who would like to use it (the Library will be providing hotdogs!) and a couple small tents and tables for those who do want to be outside, but offering an air conditioned inside space as well.

Stop by and see your neighbors, have a bite, and maybe check out a book!
