The Petersburgh Public Library will hold a “Spring Foraging” program on Saturday, May 9 at 9 am. Danny Schnoop will lead this spring foraging 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 1to 3 pm.
Story hour is held Tuesdays at 11 am. Preschoolers and their care givers are invited to join us for stories, games, crafts and snacks. On May 12 story hour will feature stories about “How does your garden grow?” and on May 19 it will be “Rhymes and Songs”. There will be no story hour from May 26 through June 23 and it will resume on Tuesday, June 30 for our summer program.
Legos at the Library is held the second Wednesday of the month from 3:30 to 6:30 pm, which will be May 13.

Creations will be displayed at the Library for the month until they are dismantled for the next lego program.
