We’re halfway into February and still look forward to Valentine’s Day and two more Black History Month displays: Biography & the Arts and Black History. The Library will be closed on Monday, February 21st to mark Presidents Day.
The Woodstock Garden Club and NWPL are getting a jump-start on the gardening season with a special presentation by Ann McIntee, "Aging Gardens, Aging Gardeners."
You have just a short while longer to catch Paula Cloudpainter’s “Cloudmaps” exhibit in the Mezzanine. It will come down on February 23rd to make way for Kathy Fiske’s March and April exhibit, “Potpourri.”
May we recommend short stories for this short month? You can choose from collections by one author - classic or contemporary - or, for a variety of different voices, check out an anthology.
We look forward to seeing you soon -- in person or virtually!

Do you look forward to spring for the beauty that your gardens produce but perhaps not the seemingly endless hours of maintenance that they require? Are you facing the fact that you and your gardens have aged and changed over time?
“Aging Gardens, Aging Gardeners” is intended to help all of us come to terms with our aging, but very much beloved gardens. Ann presents strategies for gardening more wisely by assessing our home landscapes and taking care of ourselves when we garden.
Ann McEntee is a former Communications and Theatre professor. She left teaching to earn a Master of Landscape Architecture from the University of New Mexico and now holds an Advanced Master Gardener certification.
