Earth Day Edition

Celebrate Earth Day with Gardening eBooks

Today is the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, celebrated around the world to demonstrate support for environmental protection and the natural environment. With access to parks and public spaces limited, there has never been a better time to embrace going green at home. As always, reduce, reuse and recycle, and perhaps plant a garden if that's an option for you. Check out one of these Gardening eBooks for ideas. These eBooks may be downloaded in the Libby by OverDrive app or viewed online on our OverDrive page.
