...out like a lamb. Spring is definitely here! Today's weather feels like a cruel joke after the beautiful weekend. But as the cliched saying goes, "April showers bring May flowers." Instead of dreading the rain and thunderstorms, let's look for ways to take advantage of the changing seasons. The library is offering several 'earth-friendly' programs:
