After the talk, three beautiful framed local wildlife photos will officially become available for free checkout from the Worthington Library. The Library also has two trail cameras available to check out.

At the request of several book club participants, we're going to move August's Book Club meeting to one week later, and meet at 4pm on Saturday, Sept. 5. That way, no one has to choose between book club and the Cummington Fair! Happy fair-going, and now everyone has an extra week to finish The Last Garden in England.

This change is just for this meeting; we'll continue having the last Saturday of the month as our regular meeting time. So, we'll meet twice in September, on the 5th and on the 26th. For the 26th, we'll read Erik Larson's The Devil in the White City.

This metal detector is an awesome tool for finding treasure! A key feature of this item is it will tell you to ignore certain items such as junk metal and iron to insure that when it goes off, it's for something more valuable. It also has a visual display and audio to help you determine what kind of metal you are digging up. This makes the Bounty Hunter an ideal tool for a fun-filled day this summer. Check it out now from the Library of Things here at the Worthington Library!
