Let’s create an online community art exhibit!
Throughout the month of May patrons can display their artwork (drawing, painting, photography, etc.) by posting to the library’s Padlet site.
May’s theme is “something you can’t live without.”

GARDENING 101 WORKSHOP
To have a bountiful garden, all you need to do is provide your plants what they need. But what do they need? And how do you provide it?
Gretel anspach will host a gardening 101 workshop at 7 p.m. on Monday, May 6.
Learn about sunlight, space, water and most of all soil, and you’ll have the basics to develop the garden you’ve always wanted.
This program is sponsored by the Friends of Boyden Library.
BOYDEN LIBRARY SPICE CLUB

And don’t forget to share what you’ve made with us on Facebook and/or Instagram!
The spice for May is Caraway, which will be available all day on Wednesday, May 8.
