Summer Readers Build a Better World
Using the theme, Build a Better World, the Library’s Summer Reading Program
for preschoolers, grade schoolers and teens was a mix of special guests,
crafts, games and stories that centered on making a difference in their own
lives and the lives of others. Thanks to our Children’s Librarian, Ann Zettl, the
Library staff, and teen volunteers! Here are a few photos of the fun we had.

Library will begin
collecting vegetable and
flower seeds this fall for
sharing in the spring. Please
consider donating seeds from your garden.
We will organize and catalog the seeds for
distribution in the spring.
You may be asking, “How can you ‘borrow’
seeds?” The basic idea is that you plant the
seeds, let some plants go to seed, then return
some of these next generation seeds for
others to plant.
Envelopes for seed storage will be available
at the Library main desk. For more information
on an established seed program visit http://
www.richmondgrowsseeds.org/. With your seed
donations, we will build a similar seed exchange.
Please call the Library and leave your name
and contact information if you are interested
in participating in our new seed library.
