Tea and genealogy at Huntington Library

The Friends of Huntington Memorial Library will be holding a "Literary Tea" from 2 to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 7, at the library. They will be celebrating mothers and the various roles they play.

Short stories and poems will be read aloud. Everyone will be able to share memories or advice given by mothers, grandmothers, caregivers or a special woman in our lives. Do you have a special memory you'd like to share? Plan on attending this program with the Friends. Tea and refreshments will be served.
