If you are interested in finding ways to improve your energy, then this class is for you. Reiki and Massage Therapy 101 is free and will be held on Saturday, June 22nd, at 1:00 pm in the Silt Branch Library's community room.  Put on by local Reiki Master and Massage Therapist Betts Williams, this program will discuss energy, how it feels, how to get in touch with it, and how to use it for healing. You will come away with a new sense of peace and how to help yourself and others.

 We are kicking off the Teen Summer Reading Program with a rock party. The theme this year is Beneath the Surface and what do we frequently find there? Rocks! We will be painting rocks, playing Rock Party/Guitar Hero on the Wii, and eating pop rocks. Come and start your summer off like a "rock" star.
