Our gardening series: Grown Your Food, will be on July 12 this month at 9:00 am
Topics will include: harvesting; re-planting harvested veggies; insects; potatoes and garlic; and everlasting weeding! 

This monthly gardening series will be held from April through October, presenting what is important to know about vegetable and herb gardening each month. A pair of experienced gardeners will be present at each session to provide direction and garden wisdom, plus Q&A time. Some sessions will be hands-on, others more information-focused. Whether you wish to plant in the ground, in raised beds, or containers—you will learn a lot!

Please contact Shirley Kelter at the library for more information, (608) 643-8346. Geared for adults.
 

The Library will be closed on Friday, July 4 in honor of Independence Day.

During this time, the book drop in the parking lot will remain open. Regular hours will resume on Saturday, July 5.

Have a happy Fourth of July!
