UPCOMING EVENTS AT LAKEWOOD PUBLIC LIBRARY
Wednesday, March 14
A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE PROGRAMS
A book discussion program for students in fourth through eighth grade
Though I'd rather not, I'm obliged to inform you of these most unhappy programs about Lemony Snicket's very sad books concerning the dreadful lives of the Baudelaire orphans. Please read at least the first two books before the first program. You would probably have a happier time watching leaves grow on trees, but if you must register you should stop in, call (216) 226-8275, ext. 140.
7:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium
