Secret Tea Society's certified tea specialist will teach you about tea varieties and the best brewing methods for iced teas. You will learn how to use natural summer flavors like peach, lavender, rosehips, & lemon, each creating a special recipe and memorable moment through tea – the world’s most consumed beverage.

This program will include a question-and-answer time, and is hands-on and participatory.

Tea supplies will be available for pick-up at the Fairlawn-Bath Branch Library on June 10.

  • Four cups - for brewing (light or white is best to view tea color)
  • Four teaspoons
  • One peach or lemon
  • A few sprigs of garden mint, or perhaps your favorite summertime flavoring
  • Timer 
  • Hot water - don't boil yet
  • Ice         
  • Napkins or paper towels for clean up

From families with toddlers, school-agers, or teenagers to active seniors and people who work nearby, patrons of all ages will find much to engage with in the appealing programming that the library presents. Story-times for young children, nature-themed events and craft-making for older youth, and varied programs for adults including book discussions, financial guidance, art instruction, and computer classes offer a wide range of opportunities for entertainment and learning.

Book, movie, music, and e-media collections from the library are equally responsive to the tastes and interests of library patrons. The Fairlawn-Bath Branch Library is also a place to find public computers, free WiFi, photocopiers, scanning and faxing capabilities, and meeting room space for local non-profit groups.
