Welcome Library Sidewalk Crawlers!

The Heath Free Public Library welcomes the Friends of West County Seniors to beautiful Heath Center  on Wednesday, September 10 at 1:00 pm for the beginning of their Fall Library Sidewalk Crawl program.

For the next 8 weeks the Friends will meet at a West County Library and "Walk, stroll, roll, sprint, or crawl on the sidewalk (if there is one) for an hour or so, enjoying the gradual arrival of fall, then turn around and head back to the library for refreshments - and to peruse the bookshelves!"
