Spring Foraging And Other Programs At Petersburgh Library

April 30, 2015 By eastwickpress

The Petersburgh Public Library will hold a “Spring Foraging” program on Saturday, May 9 at 10 am. Danny Schnoop will lead this workshop.  He 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 our finds.  Please sign-up at the library if you will be attending since space in the kitchen is limited.  In the event that there is inclement weather or the plants are not out yet, the workshop will be held on May 16 from 1 to 3 pm.

Story hour is held Tuesdays at 11 pm.  Preschoolers and their care givers are invited to join us for stories, games, crafts and snacks.  On April 28 stories will be from “Favorite Authors” and on May 5 “Folk and Fairy Tales”.

The annual library Plant, Book and Bake Sale will be held on Saturday, May 16 from 9 am to 1 pm.  Donations of plants, books and baked goods would be appreciated to support the library programs.

The book discussion group will meet on Wednesday, May 13 to discuss “The Testament of Mary” by Colm Toibin.  Copies of the books are available at the library for anyone who would like to read it and join the discussion.
