In order to “Build a Better World” you need energy. Energy
comes in many different forms and we use it daily in many dif-
ferent ways. In this exciting program offered by Central GA
EMC, children learn the basics of energy from why they need
it, to its history, its characteristics, and how the changing of energy from one
form to another revolutionized the world into the one we know today.
Come join us at Locust Grove Public Library on Wednesday, July 12, at
11 a.m. to explore and have fun!
