CHILDREN
TAKE & MAKE CRAFT: BUTTERFLY FEEDER KIT
Friday, June 10 | 10 a.m.
Here’s another easy step you can take to help our pollinators thrive—put out Butterfly Feeders at home!
This butterfly feeder is designed to look like a flower, yet each part of the feeder plays an important role in attracting butterflies. When you're done making your craft, place it in your garden or near a window so that you can enjoy watching the butterflies as they land and eat from your butterfly feeder.
Register online for a kit and pick it up any time between Friday, June 10 at 10 a.m. and Monday, June 13 at 9 p.m. via in-person or curbside pickup. This craft is for ages 4 and up with help from an adult. Take & Make craft kits are made possible by our wonderful Friends of the Gleason Public Library.
TEENS
TEEN ADVISORY BOARD
Thursday, June 2 | 7 p.m.
Use your voice and help the Gleason Library become even better! The Teen Advisory Board will meet once a month over Zoom to discuss the library, what you think would be most helpful to you as teens, and to just hang out virtually with your peers to talk about school, what you're reading and/or watching, and life in general. Sign up here in order to get a Zoom link. This group is for students in grades 9 through 12. If you have any questions, reach out to Tahleen, the Teen Services Librarian, at tshamlian@gleasonlibrary.org.
