Ages 7 to 17 are invited to come out at 11 a.m.to build with cups and straws to see how types of materials make a difference in infrastructure. At the Grand Ledge Area District Library, it's Paws for Reading. Preschool to high school ages can spend time reading to a certified therapy dog starting at 6 p.m. Tuesday night.
