Weekly Buzz | Now is the Time to Learn About Your Candidates
And there have never been more resources! Plus, ways you can get involved this week.
Hello, Burlington!
We’ve got another week rolling out the red carpet in front of us, and lots is on the agenda. Don’t forget to check out the candidate debates and forums as you decide who you’ll vote for, and look at their websites and social media pages for information about upcoming events where you can meet the candidates and ask them questions.
As always, the library is chock full of amazingness this week. From Bridge and virtual trivia night on Monday to blood pressure screenings, storytimes, and scavenger hunts throughout the week, there are over a dozen events happening this week and you should definitely check one or more of them out.
