Container Garden Presentation 

at Limestone Township Library District

Maybe you have always wanted to try container gardening but never felt comfortable enough to do it. Come to Limestone Township Library District on Wednesday, May 15 at 6:30 P.M. to hear Holly Froning speak on creating a container garden in your own back yard.

Froning is the Master Gardener and Master Naturalist Coordinator at the University of Illinois Extension Office, serving in this role for many years. She will explain the different types of containers, soil mediums, and plants that can work for container gardening. Then you can take that knowledge to work at creating your own container garden.

To attend the program, community members must register for the program. You don’t have to be a patron to attend the program. But as long as you are in the building, check with the Front Desk staff to see about getting a library card.

For more information, call the Library at 815-939-1696.

Storytime takes place every Wednesday at 10:15 A.M., through May 8. Mr. William will read a picture book or two and leading us through a fun craft matching the theme of the book.

Are you in the middle of a project that needs a little more help from an outside source?

You can always find that help at the library.

We have helped people make copies of newspaper article or obituaries for memory books for family members. Sometimes quilters come in looking to have a pattern increased in size so they can have a larger picture to work off for paper piecing. Sometimes people are looking specific tax forms that cannot be found on our turn racks.

We also help with getting important papers sent by fax or scanned into emails.

Don’t forget that we have public access computers as well. This is helpful when you have a document in your email but it refuses to print from your phone for whatever reasons.

One way or another, we can help you on that project to get it to the next step.

We do charge .25¢ for black and white copies, .50¢ for color copies. Faxes cost $1.50 per page, and email scans are free. Public access computer usage is free of charge. All of these services are open to the public, not just patrons of the library. But while you’re in the building, see about getting your own library card.
