Don’t be surprised if you find yourself rooting for a bad hair day because when it comes to chia creatures – the crazier the better! Come to the library Thursday, June 29, and get started on your own chia creature with help from Master Gardener Charlie Brenner – care and feeding is on your own. The program for kids and families kicks off at 10 a.m. with a story. Sign up online at www.bethlehempubliclibrary.org or call (518) 439-9314. Each child must be registered individually.
