July Events at Montclair Library
CORRECTION
Ah, I should have known the juxtaposition of author Mary Roach and the Insect Discovery Lab on July 19 was too perfect - it turns out that while Roach will indeed be at the library on the evening of Tuesday, July 19, the Insect Discovery Lab for kids won't be visiting until August 2.
Also added below: Meet the goats with Montclair 4H, Saturday, July 30.
