Keeping Your Cool:

Toledo Community Library: Charlie says Thanks to everyone who stopped in Saturday at the Book & Bake Sale, another resounding success! These rare fundraisers take place 2-3 times each year with the simple goal of Keeping The Lights On.
 
And they do. Whether you’re in need of a printer or copies, computer access or WiFi, a fresh hot cup of your favorite brew & a snack, this is the place. New inventory updates the sale rack frequently - you can drop off yours & pick up new books & videos. And it’s cool inside.
 
Open Wednesday until 7 PM, Thursday & Saturday until 5 PM.       

And:
                      
Gallery 505: July Exhibit - Toledo Made. Celebrate the rich variety of local talent across a range of media - wood & metal, textiles and jewelry, oils & acrylics, recycled and new.

Open 1 - 5 PM Wednesday - Saturday. Nice and cool in here, too.

Today they were even visited by a mama and baby deer...
