For adults, we start off the summer with Judy Williams, the Racine Coupon Lady.  She'll teach you everything you need to know about saving money by using coupons, from finding and organizing your coupons to setting up a stockpile and managing your pantry and freezer.  This class is free and registration is NOT required.  Drop in Monday morning from 10 a.m. to 12 noon and prepare to start saving!

Also for adults (and also this week) the Friends of APL are hosting a program on flower arranging taught by staff from Treasure Hut.  Learn how to make the most of your summer garden blooms on Tuesday at 1:30 under the tent on the library's front lawn.

On Wednesday, June 13, learn how to download ebooks from OverDrive to your Nook, Kindle, smart phone or other ereader.  Registration is required for this class, so please call the library and have your name added to the list.

Then, as part of Delavan's Celebration of Freedom featuring the American Veteran's Traveling Tribute, the library offers kids a chance to show their colors.  Decorate your bike (wagon, scooter, stroller . . ) in red, white, and blue at the library, then parade to Phoenix Park.  Bike decorating is from 1 to 3 p.m. at the library and all materials will be provided.

Saturday, June 16 at 10 a.m.,  Frank Landi examines the buildings in the business district of downtown Delavan in his program "Delavan's Historic Architectural Ornamentation.
