Hungry for an Adventure!
• June 1 – Aug. 31
The Very Hungry Caterpillar is super hungry… hungry for an adventure! During the months of June-August, children/families will be able to check out the Very Hungry Caterpillar for one week and take photos of him exploring our community. Along with the caterpillar, participants will take home a photo scrapbook in which they can fill it with photos and descriptions of the caterpillar’s adventures to share with others. Sign up today and take the hungry caterpillar on his next adventure. Contact the Lewisville Branch at 336-703-2940 for more information or to sign up. Customers can also email their photos to Raegen Luntz (luntzra@forsyth.cc), who will insert them in the scrapbook. Sponsored by the Friends of the Lewisville Library.

Adult programs
Advance Care Planning Workshop
• Wednesday, Aug. 31, at 1 p.m.
Do you have a health care power of attorney assigned? Do you have a living will? Join in at the Lewisville Branch to learn about the purpose and importance of having advance care planning in place. Advance care planning is a process to help your loved ones know how to speak for you if you are ever unable to make your own medical decisions. Such instances can include if you undergo surgery, get a serious illness or are injured in an unexpected accident. Don Timmons from Trellis Supportive Care will be the presenter and will provide the necessary documents for you to assign a health care power of attorney and create a living will. He will also provide guidance for filling out these forms during the program. Registration is recommended. Register by emailing Sue at deguzmse@forsyth.cc or calling the Lewisville Branch at 336-703-2940.
