Late March library news
Hello, library friends --

It's been a treat to see the sun for the last few days! I hope you've been able to get out there and enjoy it.

This nice weather has me thinking about my garden... so it's perfect timing for another garden program with our local horticulture specialist, Darrin Kimbler! Read on for details.

Hope to see you soon at the library!
