Join in a spirited book discussion of a selected title each month. New participants are always welcome! The September book is: “The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency” by Alexander McCall-Smith. Copies are available at the Information Desk one month before the discussion.
Composting is a little like baking a cake. There are some basic science principles required to successfully create compost in the shortest possible time but the rest is art, allowing you to create a composting setup that works for you. The WSU/Lewis County Master Recycler Composter volunteers invite you to attend a basic composting class. There will be an opportunity to ask questions about your own composting challenges as well. Participants who call (360)740-1216 and pre-register by 5 p.m. Sept. 9, will have a free compost bin reserved for them. (One bin per family please.)

The cost for this fun evening is $75 which includes appetizers, dinner and the play. There will be a no-host cash bar.
Join in a spirited book discussion of a selected title each month. New participants are always welcome! The October book is: “The Good Rain” by Timothy Egan. Copies are available at the Information Desk one month before the discussion.
