Spring Foraging
The Vanishing Skills series of the Petersburgh Public Library kicks off with its first installment, “Spring Foraging,” on Saturday, May 3, at 10 am. The new series will offer instruction and knowledge sharing from local residents on country skills and self sufficiency that have been neglected in our fast moving digital age. However, more people are seeing that keeping the knowledge current will prove even more valuable in an uncertain future.
On May 3 from 10 am to noon Danny Schnoop and Mary Lou Walters will lead a spring foraging workshop. They will lead a group to places where baby dandelion greens, fiddlehead ferns and other spring plants can be foraged. Afterward, the group will return to the PVMCC for some pointers in preparing and preserving its finds. Please sign up at the Library if you will be attending since space in the kitchen is limited.
Book Discussion Group
The next book discussion will take place on Wednesday, May 14, at 7 pm. The book to be discussed is Savage Beauty: the life of Edna St. Vincent Millay by Nancy Milford. Copies of the book are available at the Library for everyone who would like to join in the book discussion.
Plant, Bake, Book And Tag Sale
The annual Plant, Bake, Book and Tag Sale will be held on Saturday, May 17, from 9 am to 1 pm. Donations of plants and baked goods would be greatly appreciated.
