Friday, July 9th: Come to the Hopewell Library at 1:00 pm to hear experts from the Virginia Aquarium talk about sea life. When you’re done hearing about sea creatures stick around to actually see some of these creatures with the Ocean in Motion truck that will be parked outside the library from 3:00 – 6:00 pm.

You can’t go fishin’ without the right hat, so stop by the McKenney Library Tuesday, June 29th at 2:30 pm to personalize your own bucket hat!
