What do birds do on Thursday nights? Play fla-bingo! We don’t have any live flamingos at the Library, but we will be having a family-friendly bingo game in the Tween Room (on the ground floor). Whether you’re a bingo pro or are playing for the first time, we invite you to join us for a fun evening filled with bingo, prizes, and maybe even some more bingo jokes! This program is for kids of all ages and their families.

In this program with Hillel Bromberg you will spend some time getting to know tea’s delightful flavors and aromas, as well as its fascinating history, how it’s made, where it’s from, and what it can do for you.
|
You’ll learn how to steep tea for best flavor and sample several varieties, such as a delicate white, smooth oolong, refreshing green, malty black, and a, well, we won’t give away the surprise.
|
No registration is needed. The program is limited to first 35 attendees.
|
Tea can be sweet, rich, buttery, and citrusy. It can wake you up and calm you down. Tea has a history that spans the globe and health benefits that will keep you going. It has been cultivated for over 4,000 years and is the second most popular drink in the world (behind water).
|
Hillel Bromberg is a certified tea sommelier always looking to increase his own knowledge of tea and expose as many people as possible to the delights of Camellia sinensis. When he is not steeping, he writes, bikes, cares for his family, and cooks fine vegetarian fare.
