Also in the children’s department, there will be a “Page Turner Animal Adventure” on May 31 at 10 a.m. on YouTube. The event features the live-action musical “Myrtle Over the Moon,” a story about a cow that seeks love and fame on “MooTube” by trying to jump over the moon.
In the teen department, there will be an online chess club meeting May 6 at 4 p.m. via Zoom, and there will also be various online gaming opportunities, including a “Virtual Game Night” on May 19.
