While the library staff is taking a break from programs for the month of August to catch up on some day-to-day tasks, the library still offers community space for several local organizations to meet:

• Starting  23,the Franklin County Extension Office will be using the library for its Eat Well Be Healthy nutrition class. This informational class is free and open to the public.
• Every third Tuesdayof the month, Amedisys hosts a grief support group meeting at the library at 9 a.m.
• The last Wednesday of the month the library hosts Medicare training for the community.

Don’t miss out on an opportunity for free knowledge and support from your community members and organizations. Stop by the Russellville Public Library to see what’s on the calendar or visit our website to see what’s happening month to month.

Thank you to all who stopped by the Friends of the Library book sale! If you didn’t get a chance to stop by, we will be continuing the book sale through Aug. 25.
