Seedy Monday, March 15, 2021

We have had a terrific response to our Seedy Monday. There are so many exciting and interesting varieties and due to the generosity of our partners, we still have some seed left so next Monday, March 15, we will take more orders again.

Yes, they are free and they are awesome.

We’d like to give a heartfelt thank you to Hawthorne Seeds who have been a first-rate partner through their generous donation of seeds for the seed library. Additionally, we’d like to send the biggest thank you to one of our stellar patrons, Brenda C., who has single handedly prepared the individual packages of seeds for us to share! These two partnerships lead to the incredible success of Shelburne Public Library`s 2021 seed library.

Teen Scene:

We’ve had the advantage of some gorgeous weather this week, but that didn’t stop us from creating a snowstorm in a jar! Check out our Teen activity videos, which are posted every Tuesday at 4pm. Most of the supplies are easily found around the house to recreate. Better yet—if you’ve got Teens at home and want to stay up-to-date with our Teen activities, email jwyse@shelburnelibrary.ca and we will put you on our Teen enewsletter list!

Upcoming events:
