Dog Man is on the case when a new pet sitter goes missing in Dav Pilkey’s ‘Dog Man and Cat Kid.’
Preschool Story Time is this Wednesday at 11 a.m., 1:15 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., and Toddler Story Time is 10 and 11 a.m. Both will be all about ‘teddy bear’s picnic!’ Baby Laptime Thursday at 10 a.m.
Please note there is always a Wednesday evening Story Time at 6:30 p.m. for ages three to nine and their caregivers. Perfect way to unwind.
Friends of the Library presents a new travelogue: American Grand Natural Vistas in Cranbrook’s Southern Backyard. Take a virtual summer adventure in the USA; camping, hiking, backpacking and four-wheeling in Idaho and Wyoming’s national parks and national forests. However, smoky the skies and omnipresent the threat of fire, all roads remain open and the gasoline is almost free.
May 15, (Tuesday) 7:30 p.m. College of the Rockies Lecture Theatre Admission by donation to the Friends of the Cranbrook Public Library. A travelogue by Dan Hicks, from his solar eclipse excursion of August and September 2017; a follow-up to his Yellowstone National Park backcountry travelogue last year.
