How do you define beauty? A perfect smile and straight hair? In America you might think so. But for some, in other parts of the world, it might be a small nose or thick ankles. See what is considered beautiful in three continents in our hands-on Beauty Around the World workshop at the library, on Tuesday evenings, July 12, 19, and 26 from 7 to 8:30 p.m.. Classes will be conducted by Faye Sacco. Check the library for details about other mini-camp offerings.
