WARSAW — August is a time to finish up the family vacations and get ready to head back to school, but there is fun to be had all month at the Warsaw Community Pubic Library.

If you’re interested in theater, join us from 4-5 p.m. Monday, Aug. 10, as we discuss how to audition for plays and offer time to practice cold readings with teens.
