The Book Report – April 13

April 13, 2022 by Jodi Travelstead and Nicole Inboden

By Jody Travelstead and Nicole Inboden

Plan to join Gene Forester and Milly Pate for the next program of the Library Gardeners. They will be holding a program on “Sowing Seeds” at the library on Monday, April 25th at 5:00 pm. Starting plants from seed provides a greater variety than what is available from a garden center. It is an inexpensive project that the whole family can share. Stop by the library and pick up some free seeds for your garden, provided by the Library Gardeners. We are glad so many people are using the seed library and sharing from their gardens. Hope to see you at the program!

The Norris City Public Library will be CLOSED on Friday, April 15th for Good Friday. We will re-open on Saturday, April 16th. Happy Easter everyone! [Read more...]
