Novel Destinations

SUMMER READING EVENTS FOR ADULTS
Novel Destinations is this summer’s theme for those 18 to 100+! On July 20 at 6 pm, explore our own backyard with Pat McKeown of the St. Lawrence Chamber of Commerce. Enjoy locally roasted coffee from St. Lawrence Valley Roasters as you learn about our county’s top vacation destinations. Have you picked up a summer brochure and a travel packet at the Patron Services desk? Earn a ticket for every five countries “visited” between June 1 and July 29 and be entered in a drawing to win a summer gift basket. You’re reading anyway; why not sign up for this well-organized program for all adults? Call Stefanie or Krista with any questions @ (315) 386-3712.
