Welcome to Spring

Today's view outside the Children's Room

Today marks the second day of spring, but here in Maine we know that that date is arbitrary.  This was especially made clear to us this week when we had to reschedule our Irish History program due to the snowstorm.  

Therefore, we are holding our breath and hoping that Erin Bishop will be able to make it here on Thursday, March 28th at 6:30 p.m. to present her program on "The World of Mary O'Connell."  

The first week of April we are looking forward to two more spring-related programs.  On Thursday, April 4th at 6:30 p.m. Master Gardener Brian Smith returns to share some tips on "Growing Small Fruits and Berries." If you've always enjoyed strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries find out how you can grow these delicious treats in your own backyard.

On Friday, April 5th at 12:00 noon we are kicking off a new monthly program we're calling "Lunch and Learn."   Join us in the Weymouth Gallery the first Friday of each month and learn about a new subject. Feel free to bring a lunch to eat during the presentation.  We'll provide beverages and dessert.   This month  Maine Audubon biologist Traczie Bellinger will present a program on Maine's endangered shorebird, the Piping Plover.  Learn about the bird's natural history as well as the efforts and conservation methods used to protect the species.  

As you can see, even though it doesn't feel much like spring here, we're doing all we can to help you feel a bit warmer.  We hope to see you soon.
