Afterwards you can choose books in the library and play on the playground. Adults are asked to participate with their children. This is a drop in program, no registration needed.

Protecting Honeybees Provide clean sources of water. A small garden feature or a rainwater collection is enough to provide bees with a drink when needed.

Henrietta Public Library: What Poverty Does to People Thursday, July 15 | 7-8:30 PM Please register at hpl.libcal.com to receive login information. Join author John Strazzabosco for a virtual presentation and Q&A about his book 90 Feet Under - What Poverty Does to People. According to the author, “The book was written in an effort to find answers that plagued me as to why poverty has remained so resilient. By writing a list I began to understand that the problem has so many roots in disparate places that defy understanding, until I accepted the enormity of the whole assault on the mind and body. The causes I’ve identified are neurological, physiological, linguistic, and crammed with fear, cold and hunger.” This event will meet online using Zoom. Email invitations will be sent out to registrants 12-24 hours in advance.

HOW EVERYDAY CITIZENS CAN PROTECT LOCAL PARKS

Leave nothing behind. Memories are not the only things park visitors should take with them when they leave the park. Estimates suggest that as much as 100 million pounds of garbage are generated at California’s Yosemite National Park each year. Signifi cant damage can result if even a tiny fraction of that garbage is left behind. In addition, park offi cials forced to expend their limited resources on garbage pickup may not have enough resources left to address other issues, further threatening the park. Whether you’re hiking or camping, make sure everything you take into the park comes with you when you leave. If you have trash, make sure it’s deposited into the appropriate receptacles.
