Monday, July 22, 12 - 1 PM, Are Your Facebook Posts Boring Your Friends? Bring your five most recent Facebook posts for an independent evaluation to find out if what goes on your wall is boring your friends to tears. Maybe your friends are interested in the fact that the bananas you bought turned brown after just a day, or that you burned the top of your feet at the beach. Or maybe they aren't. You'll be better off --and so will your friends-- if your Facebook posts are delightful and sprightly. Location: Cleveland Park Neighborhood Library, Connecticut Avenue and Macomb Street. The library has wifi, so you can use it while you're there, too, and that's a good idea, because this is the weekly fake event.
