Remember those flowers you planted way back in March?
It's time to get them planted outside the library!
Come see us anytime during the day on MONDAY, MAY 20TH, bring your flowers, and you can plant them outside the library.
Don't worry, if something happened to your flowers, or if you didn't have a chance to come plant seeds, we'll have plants available for you to plant.
Spring has sprung- come join the fun!
