Any teens in and around the Town of Pendleton, NY or the Town or The City of Lockport : Join us to Breakout the Alien Code on Tuesday, July 14, from 2:30 - 3:30 PM in the Caldwell Room on Floor 3!

A new communication from an alien vessel has been intercepted. It is the 137th message since 1957, when Laika, the first space dog, orbited the earth. We need to connect and learn more for the good of humans and aliens alike.

All the data has been compiled, and the location has been triangulated. The UFO will be in our airspace, directly over us, and in range for 60 minutes. If we miss this opportunity to communicate, the aliens may believe that we are not friendly.

Join us to examine the evidence and decipher the message. The world is counting on you to Breakout the Alien Code!

Free and open to the public. Registration is required at https://www.lockportlibrary.org/event/breakout-alien-code . Teens 13+.

Summer Reading at the Lockport Public Library is sponsored by M&T Bank.
