WOW!  Summer is rushing by!

Our first MakerSpace was great - we even did it twice!  July 16 will be a MakerSpace Twofer!  First, from 2-330 we'll learn how to dehydrate fruits and veggies,then from 330-430 learn how simple circuits work by painting conductive paint on  paper and connecting the lines to a battery and an LED! 

Upcoming performances include:

Zoozort with Noelle Tarrant - an interactive LIVE ANIMAL SHOW! that's Thursday, July 10 at 1 pm, then we have Lucy and friends, a spuppet show at 1 pm on Thursday July 17. 

School's out and the Summer Reading Program has begun at the library!  We also have EdVest forms with a chance for you to win money for your child's future education, courtesy of the Lords of Lambeau!   As for reading, we don't ask for much, come to a program, read some books, do a craft - win a small prize each week and be entered for the grand prize drawing at the end of summer picnic! 

We're also doing some Makerspaces - we'll have some techie ones, plus some good old fashioned ones like learning to sew or quilt - if I can find the volunteer teachers!

This Saturday, May 10th is our 26th Annual Plant, Book and Bake Sale, hosted by the Friends of the Patterson Memorial Library and supported by the Wild Rose Women's Club and members of the community!  We'll open the doors at 9AM and close up at 1 PM.  We have the same big and beautiful plants from Heidi A. Heath Farms in Coloma - all in huge 12" hanging baskets and containers.  We'll also have perennials donated by local gardeners for sale, delicious home-baked treats and lots and lots of books, VHS videos and DVDs - all priced to move!
