 You can never have too many wreaths, especially ones you create yourself. Crafty Creations in September will give you a chance to make a Canvas Banner Wreath. Each participant at this month's gathering will have the opportunity to personalize a canvas drop cloth and use faux greenery to create their wreath. Creative adults are invited to attend the afternoon session at 1 p.m., Wednesday, September 9, or the evening session at 6 p.m., Tuesday, September 29. Registration is required for the evening session. Just stop by or call the library at 937.783.3585 by September 25 to register. Crafty Creations is always free, and supplies — and instruction — will be provided. |

Monday Night Movies |

 The library will feature what is still considered one of the greatest animated movies of all time in September.We will be showing WALL-E
for our Monday Night Movie at 5 p.m., Sept. 14. WALL-E
won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature for 2008, when it was the ninth-highest grossing movie of that year. The free family-oriented movie showings also include free pizza and popcorn. After hundreds of lonely years, a waste management robot finds a new purpose in life. With only a cockroach for a friend, he finds true love in another robot sent on a mission to Earth to see if it is safe for human life. For more information, visit the library or call 937.783.3585. |
