For August we are introducing hybrid programming! Some of our programs this month will be in-person outside at the Woodbridge Main Library in our courtyard located under the overhang near the parking lot by the side of the building. We will also continue to stream the programs live over Zoom. In the event of extreme weather the program will revert to completely virtual at the advertised time.
