MENTONE — Upcoming events and news from the Bell Memorial Library include:

CPR Class

Statistics prove that if more people knew CPR, more lives could be saved. CPR can double, or even triple, a victim’s chance of survival. If you are interested in learning this lifesaving technique, sign up for this two hour class at 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12. You will receive certification when you complete the class.

To register for this class or for information concerning our other programs, call Bell Library at: (574)353-7234.
