Sponsored by Friends of the Library. Donations accepted through Sept. 2 in bins in the library and outside the Friends bookstore.

Legal experts will answer questions about immigration law — especially issues surrounding arrests by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

“Deporting people without a hearing or without seeing a judge is unconstitutional, and suspending asylum programs and ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for people who are legally in this country is a violation of their constitutional rights.”

The session will be moderated by Ruth Herrera Solis, Ed.D, who worked in educational administration and was a speech-language pathologist in Edinburg before moving to Comal County. She is fully bilingual in English and Spanish.

Sponsored by the Democratic Party of Comal County.

Enjoy a day of nature exploration and community science. Open to both seasoned naturalists and those just curious about local wildlife. Focuses primarily on native plant species of Texas and fall migratory species.

Help document as many species as possible. Every observation counts!
