Square Foot Gardening Workshop Monday, April 15 at 2:00 pm

POY SIPPI LIBRARY PRESENTS…Square Foot Gardening

Monday, April 15, 2019 at 2:00 pm --

Everett Eckstein, Master Gardener

This type of gardening was developed by Mel Bartholomew in the late 1970s and has been featured on PBS, the Discovery Channel and has been taught all over the United States and countless foreign countries. Anyone from age 3 to 93 can garden this way because there is no digging, hoeing or actual work. Also being taught at the class is how to do vertical gardening, all of which cuts down the space ·needed to garden.

 

The fee to attend the event is one non-perishable food item for the Poy Sippi Food Pantry. Space is limited, so please call the Poy Sippi Library at 920-987-5737 to make a reservation.

Books on "Square Foot Gardening, The Revolutionary Way to Grow More in Less Space" will be available for purchase at the class.

Poy Sippi Library Gets a Grant!

The Poy SIppi Library is one of fifteen libraries in the nation to receive the "Small Libraries Create Smart Spaces" Grant and the only library in Wisconsin!  This project is lead in partnership with the OCLC and Association for Rural and Small Libraries.  Over the next 15 months, the library will be working with community members to reimagine and reconfigure library space to encourage socially engaging and active learning at the library.  After conducting community input, action planning and prototyping, the library will create their learning spaces, using a $5,000 sub-grant toward materials. You can learn more about the project at http://www.webjunction.org/explore-topics/smart-spaces.html

Looking for Easter Baskets

Believe it or not, the Annual Easter Egg Hunt is just a few weeks away.  This special event will be held at the library on Saturday, April 20.  We are looking for items for that day, Easter Baskets, grass for the baskets and new or gently used stuffed animals.  Our goal is to have a basket for every child that takes part in the hunt.  These donated items can be dropped off at the library during open hours.  Thank you, in advance, for your generous donations.
