Program Description
Have you ever looked up at the night sky and wished you could capture it as a picture? Or wondered how to take better photos in your garden? Or maybe you've wanted to document the birds that visit your yard.
If you'd like to better understand your camera and how to photograph the natural world around you, then sign up for professional photographer Ray Silva's three-part, in-person digital photography learning sessions, and get ready to level up your nature photography!

Hearing Device Assistance
To accommodate hard-of-hearing patrons, the library offers the use of assistive listening devices in each Community Room and in each Children’s Program Room. For these devices to work, the presenter must use the room’s sound system. For the clearest sound, make sure the device is unobstructed by clothing or jewelry and sit in the first few rows.
If you experience connectivity issues, please let a staff member know. A guide on using the assistive listening devices is available.
