Chilli Bear’s Corner Adventure is in the air! Summer is full of potential — so many trails to hike, rivers to paddle, places to explore, people to meet, and books to read. If you’re not the travelling sort, or just can’t get away, why not take a journey from the comfort of your own back porch, with a glass of lemonade at your elbow? The librarians have made a list of books from all around the world, and even some places beyond it! Stop in or check our website for suggestions. Your library card is your passage to adventure!
