Good Ol’ Summertime
Issue: June 2023
Forget the Summer Doldrums – the Plateau’s twin libraries are bursting with good things.
Both the Hudson Library in Highlands and the Albert Carlton-Cashiers Library offer up enough programs and activities throughout the summer to keep residents and visitors from getting anywhere close to bored!
For example, Books & Bites at Hudson Library is a late-afternoon program featuring wine and cheese, along with top-notch authors, including on June 20 – Annabel Monaghan, who will
speak about her recently published book, Same Time Next Summer. Books will be available for purchase and signing at this
free event, which takes place at 4:00 P.M.
Also in June at Hudson Library are Kids Zone events every Thursday at 3:30 P.M., including:
June 8, “Super Seeds” – Kids will learn about different ways to germinate seeds, build mini greenhouses, and take them home with seeds planted and ready to grow!
June 22, “Splendid Soil” – Participants will explore different types of soil found in our area, and learn why some are better for plants than others.

June 16, 11:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. – American Red Cross Blood Drive
