Brook Park Branch

Large Meeting Room (72)

Join us each month for an exciting journey to another time and place to find out "what was it like?"

Come find out 'what it was like' throughout history!

Each month, we will transport ourselves to another time and place! Using fun activities with a little history mixed in, we will jump into another era to learn about significant events or people, the culture and attitudes of the time and place, and find out what life was like for the people living it.

This Fall Series will include these dates:

  • Sat, Sept 20 - In the Roaring '20s
  • Sat, Oct 11 - When Early Settlers Arrived
  • Sat, Nov 15 - As a Renaissance Artist

These sessions are supported by funding from the Friends of the Brook Park Library.
