Looking to stay cool this weekend? If so, head to the Library (Central branch) for lots of interesting activities. On Friday, the 24th, at 1:30pm we'll be showing the film, "Unbroken" based on the best-selling book. On Saturday, the Bayshore Search and Rescue will give a presentation on wilderness rescue at 2pm. Also at 2pm, we will offer our Sensory Storytime for special needs children ages 3-7, and at 3pm, we will offer a Crochet and More class. On Sunday, we will offer our Raspberry Pi computer class at 2pm, and then cap off the weekend activities with a concert of Bollywood music from popular singer Varsha Joshi at 2:30pm. Remember, we've extended our summer hours -- the Central branch is now open from 10-5pm on Saturdays and 12-5pm on Sundays. Hope to see you this weekend!

Come hear local author Larry Roth discuss his compelling new book, "The Nazi Account," tonight at 7:30pm at the Central branch. This work of historical fiction is based on the true incident of the German government's hiring of a prominent PR firm in 1933 to promote a positive image of Nazi Germany. Roth will examine the deep roots of anti-Semitism in the US during that time, and will discuss the power and influence of PR firms. Book signings will follow the discussion. Send comments to: OBPL
