Fly fishing 101 program next week

Ever wanted to learn how to fly fish?

From 6-7:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 28, you’ll have your chance! Expert fisherman and owner of Great Blue Heron Outdoors, Bob Marsh, will lead us through the ins and outs of fly fishing, including equipment, the “flies” and practicing with casting a fly rod out across our lawn, too. Register by calling the library at 913-845-3281

Adults and youths 13 years old and older can register their own spot. Youths 12 years old and younger will need an adult or older teen to register and attend with them.

Coloring for adults

Want a moment to relax? Join us at 10 a.m. May 29 for a quiet morning of coloring.

During this adult coloring program, we’ll provide a wide variety of different coloring page options to select from along with gel pens and colored pencils.
