Today is Monday, July 9. Here are five things you need to know.

Trail Mix Mixer: Before next week’s concert/horribles parade, bring the kids by the Lynnfield Library at 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, July 11 for a trail mix mixer. The kids will enjoy some stories about epic climbing adventures, and they will get to make their own trail mix using nut-free ingredients provided by the library.
