We'll be having lots of fun every Friday this summer - drop in between 1 and 2 p.m. each week for sustainability, conservation, and nature-themed activities for school-age children during a program called Earth-Friendly Fridays!
Our first week will be spent mixing up homemade suet and making "upcycled" bird feeders out of kitschy coffee mugs. Later in the summer, we'll make wildflower seed bombs, rock and bone necklaces, tee shirt tote bags, local food snacks, and much more.
Some special guests will join us from time to time, too! You won't want to miss Professor K.W. Therm and his Energy Extravaganza, for instance - plus Johnson County Master Gardener Jackie Wellborn will tell us how to save the honeybees.
Check out the full Earth Friendly Fridays calendar here.

If you enjoy the spirited early-chapter-book Clementine series about an eccentric and opinionated 8-year-old girl and the people in her apartment building, or Pax, the moving middle grade story of the bond between a boy and a fox and the lengths they'll go to in order to reunite after tragedy, try Sara Pennypacker's new middle grade novel, Leeva at Last. Perfectly paired with Matthew Cordell's scratchy illustrations, Leeva at Last is a quest/coming-of-age story that is totally hilarious, profound, and features some fantastic librarians. -Anne W
