Third Thursday @ Your Library - Vacation Variations January 18, 2007

Tired of the same old vacations? Lying on a hot beach, looking at one more famous painting, staying in a chain hotel... Now you can learn about alternative ways to spend your time off. "Vacation Variations" will be presented in the Patricia Schell Memorial Meeting Room at the Williamsburg Library, 515 Scotland Street on Thursday, January 18 at 7 p.m. The presentation is free of charge and reservations are not needed.

Lynne and Roger Helmick will discuss house exchanges - a unique way to immerse yourself in a local culture and save money on hotels at the same time.

Volunteer vacations are another alternative for those who want to make a difference by donating their time and energy to a good cause. Peggy Harris and her fellow adventurer, husband Fred, will discuss their experiences on several such excursions for the Nature Conservancy, including one to uninhabited Pacific islands.

Williamsburg Regional Library's Adult Services Department organizes the ongoing Third Thursdays @ Your Library series, featuring subjects of local interest, author talks, hobbies and pastimes. The programs take place on the third Thursday of every month at the Williamsburg Library. Call the Adult Services Desk at 757-259-4050 for more information.
