You may think about your digestive system every time your stomach growls… but how does this hardworking system actually turn food into the energy our bodies need? At this month’s Homeschool Science program, students from Manchester University’s Biology Department will guide participants through a series of hands‑on stations all about the Digestive System.

The digestive system is responsible for breaking down food, absorbing nutrients, and fueling everything from movement to growth. During this interactive session, homeschoolers will get a behind‑the‑scenes look at how this complex system works and what really happens after we take a bite. It’s a fun, engaging way to explore one of the body’s most essential processes.

We hope you’ll join us for this final session of the school year!

You may be familiar with jigsaw puzzles, chess and Sorry, but what about all those new board games on store shelves? What are those about? If all you know of board games is Candy Land, Monopoly and Connect 4, come to Game Night Chronicles to discover more options!

This adults-only program will teach participants how to play some of the new and exciting games from the library’s collection. Attendees will get a chance to play the game with others, ask questions, and connect with others in a fun and welcoming environment.

This month, we’re playing Packed Up & Priorities. Packed Up is a charming game where winning is simple: Compete to make your “pack” of four cards – each with a differently weighted camping item – weigh less than anyone else’s! But, there’s a twist: with fast hands, strategic thinking, you can make your opponents carry the heavy stuff!

Priorities is a party game where players are trying to guess a player’s priorities! In this cooperative game, players work as a group to win a card for every rank they correctly guess – or the game wins it. So there’s no stressful competition, just ridiculous debates and lots of laughs!

We hope you’ll join us!
