to shine and share their talent with our

activities for a fun family-friendly day!

Saturday, June 16, 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.
When young adults leave home, many are faced
for the first time with managing their own
vehicles. Before hitting the road, it is vital to fully
understand how to independently take care of
their vehicle, deal with unexpected problems,
prepare for roadside emergencies, and find a
repair facility. Join Roger Kinger, CCAC Professor
and Coordinator for the Ford ASSET Program,
while he gives a brief overview of basic car care
tips. He will take audience questions, talk about what you need to know, and
have a car available for hands on learning. Refreshments provided. Register
online at ptlibrary.org/events.
