They completed their project this month, a legacy gift to the village, and graduated from the program today. The legacy project included the restoration of the outlook area on the Scenic Pathway at 8^th that provides an accessible path from the two handicap parking spots with a viewing area and the restoration of two benches for easier accessibility and enjoyment by the community. A big thank you to Leadership Carmel for their 9-month commitment, fundraising, and collaboration with other community groups and Public Works to complete this thoughtful and wonderful project for the village. 

Get there early and stake out your spot, bring your chairs, blankets, a picnic, or support the Carmel Host Lions by buying a hotdog. For more information and the day's schedule click on the button.

Kid's Summer Reading Program

Predatory Plants!

Yesterday at the kid's library, Teen Services Librarian Sierra introduced us to the world of carnivorous plants (her secret hobby). Most people know or even have had a Venus Flytrap but we found out about Pitcher Plants, Cobra Lilys, Butterworts, and Sundews. It was fascinating to hear how they lure their prey and then enjoy a meal.

Those who came to learn more about these intriguing plants left with one of their own. Thank you Sierra for sharing with us.

Check out our Awesome Displays  here at the Main Library :) Thank you Randy for helping with this  

We have Pride Month Display , Juneteenth Display, June is Audiobook Month and we also have Libraryflix display for movie lovers 

We also have "Guess the Quiz and WIN a Prize" with some pretty good prizes. 

Greg D’Ambrosio and Scott Lonergan of Friends of Mission Trail Nature Preserve have been coordinating with the City Forester, Justin Ono (pictured below), to turn a previously-overturned tree stump into an educational piece to demonstrate root structures in Mission Trail Nature Preserve.

Take good care,
