Heather, that Tea Rex Party was so fun! What's next? Well, gosh, I'm glad you asked. Here are some details about the next two summer specials.

This Saturday, July 18 at 3:00, join us for the Repco Wildlife Show! Snakes! Lizards! Turtles! 🐍🦎🐢 No registration is required and all ages - yeah, even you, grown-ups with no children! - are welcome.

On Thursday July 30 at 6:30, Penn Dixie will be here for Dig In, an hour of hands-on fossil-hunting fun. This event does have a hard cap of 16 kids so registration is required. This program is for ages 5 and up and a caregiver is required to be present. You can register in person at the desk or by calling 716-883-4418.

Buffalo & Erie County Public Library is working on our 5-year plan! Tell us what you think by taking this quick library survey. Make sure Merriweather's needs are represented by sharing what we're doing that you love and what we're not doing that you wish we were! We'll have some paper copies at the branch if you prefer the old-fashioned way. Thank you! https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SR66SG
