Flora-Monroe Twp.

Don't miss your chance to experience the sounds of Tippecanoe Chamber Music Society's, "Concert to Go!" on Monday, June 15 at 2 p.m. The brass quintet is an outreach program for children of all ages to see professional musicians perform chamber music.

Chamber music is a form of classical music, written for a small group of instruments which traditionally could be accommodated in a palace chamber. It includes any music that is performed by a small number of performers with one performer to a part, without a conductor. It usually does not include solo instrument performances.

It's not too late to sign up for the free art classes offered during this month.

The art classes and "Concert to Go!" are part of the library's summer reading club, "Be Creative at Your Library," which runs through July 24.

Information about summer reading is available at the main desk, or call the library at 967-3912.

The Flora Book Club's next selection is "Nineteen Minutes," by Jodi Picoult. Best known for tackling controversial issues through fictional accounts, Picoult's, "Nineteen Minutes," deals with the truth and consequences of a small town highschool shooting. Extra copies of the book are available for check out. The club will meet June 17 in the Flora Senior Center.

The theme for the next storytime is Father's Day. Storytime is Tuesday morning at 10 a.m.
