Library Events
SPL’s In the Garden group will plant Becky’s Garden at 1 p.m. Thursday, May 23, in Community Roots outdoor space. The entire community is welcome to attend the planting and celebrate Becky Brower’s life and her passion for native plants.
On the Becky’s Garden web page — www.syracuse.lib.in.us/beckys-garden.html — In the Garden has created a list of native plants it would like to include in the garden. Those wanting to donate any of the plants on the list should email Sarah at swright@syracuse.lib.in.us. Space is limited, and we’d like to include as many people as possible. The garden will also feature native plants from Becky’s personal garden.
Children, ages 6-11, will explore paper mache during SPL’s new art club. Interested children will need to commit to attending club meetings at 4 p.m. each Monday, starting March 4. Each meeting will feature a step in the paper mache process. Interested parties should contact children’s librarian, Megan Daumen, in person at the library or by emailing her at mdaumen@syracuse.lib.in.us or calling (574) 457-3022, ext. 2006. Alternative art supplies will be available for younger children to use.
