It’s the ever-popular Barbara Rinella, back with a new and exciting book dramatization, Mrs. Grant and Madame Jule.

A Wild Bird Concern

Thursday, October 18, Luncheon: Noon, Program: 1 PM • Community Room

Welcome Linda S. Breuer and a cast of some of her fine feathered friends to the Library. These birds, though rehabilitated in Wauconda at Linda’s Barnswallow, a Wild Bird Concern, are too injured to be returned to the wild. They now accompany her in talks, showing by example why birds matter and why we should care. Cost: $25/person
