You settled in, got comfortable, and let the sounds of singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and ocean drums wash over you during an evening of meditation with Julie Benson. For a little while, everything got put on hold while you experienced the Healing Journey of Sound. It was a lovely evening to relax, release some stress, and recharge. Thanks for joining us at the library to simply unwind. We hope you left feeling refreshed and come back soon!

As we continue celebrating 50 years of Eastgate, families, have we got a fun program for you!

Flash back to a fun fad from the 1970s—Pet Rocks! Back then, they were all the rage, and now you can create your very own.

Pick up a Pet Rock kit at the library between August 24 and September 1. One kit is available per child. Then, return your completed creation to the library by September 10 to have your Pet Rock included in our special display.

- Pick up kits: August 24–September 1
- Return Pet Rocks: By September 10
- Display: Through the end of September in the Youth Services Department

We can't wait to see your creative and totally groovy Pet Rocks!
