Coming up this month at the library:
Micronesia
Thursday, April 7, 7 p.m.
Paul Marshall of Hope will give a talk on the Pacific islands of Micronesia, where he was an educational Christian missionary. He is happy to bring the people of Micronesia closer to the greater world. Since they have become a country on their own they are trying to open up their presence to tourists. Their world is truly a new one. It is a beautiful part of the Pacific world and their history is quite unknown to the rest of the world.

Puppet Play Storytimes
Friday at 10:30 a.m. April 8 and 29, May 6
Ashwood Waldorf School early-childhood teacher Beth Lunt will present a seasonal puppet play and a simple morning circle and/or simple craft activity for young children.

Raised Bed Vegetable Gardens — Plant Series
Thursday, April 14, 7 p.m.
Thinking about your first vegetable garden? Or your tenth, but you still have some questions? Using a 10' x14' starter garden plan developed by his students, Doug Fox, Professor of Horticulture at Unity College will walk us through the steps needed to turn a bit of lawn into a vegetable garden. Along the way he'll cover how to interpret your soil test, till your soil, add amendments, form beds, minimize your weeds, use insect row cover, and more.

Tech Tuesday
** Tuesday, April 19, 6-8 p.m.
Open hours with our tech experts. Bring questions and learn new skills. New tech from the holidays? Don't forget your devices for hands-on learning, or use ours to learn general skills.

Did you know you can use MARVEL databases to access Ancestry Library Edition, academic, magazine, and newspaper articles, and more? Or borrow downloadable audiobooks and e-books from the library? Trouble using the services on your Kindle, iPad or MP3 player?

Tech Tuesdays are a perfect time to come learn how!
