OXFORD – The Oxford Memorial Library will hold a special family event at 6:30 p.m. Thursday in the Community Room of the library in light of June’s National Dairy Month designation.

Partnered with Cornell Cooperative Extension’s EAT Smart New York Program, the event will promote the health benefits of dairy.

According to Oxford Library’s Youth Services Coordinator Carolyn Thau, the program will focus on family participation and is free and open to the public.

“Food is expensive,” stated Thau. “This program promotes healthy eating on a budget.”
