Judi Gray Guest Presentation at Colton Library April 11, 2013

     The Colton Library welcomes Judi Gray from Pullman Recycling and Waste Reduction to our special Second Thursday Program on April 11, 2013, at 3 p.m. She will teach us about waste free lunches and show us how to "upcycle" some old silverware into garden markers.  Kids in kindergarten through 6^th grade are welcome to attend.

    Donna Hansen will present a Lower Maintenance and Landscaping Workshop at the Colton Library on April 24, 2013, at 3 p.m.  Donna will explain how even the busiest people can still have a great-looking yard.  Donna will also present a program on Small Vegetable Gardens the same day at 12 p.m. at the Uniontown Library.  Bring a sack lunch and learn how to get the most out of even the smallest vegetable gardens.  These programs are being provided free of charge, thanks to funding from the Institute for Museums and Library Services grant entitled “Transforming Life after 50” which was recently awarded to the Whitman County Library.

    The penny pig is out at the library to raise money for children’s programs.  If you have any spare change lying around that you would like to donate to this worthy cause, please bring it by during open hours on Monday from 10 – 2:30 or Thursday from 12:30 – 6:30.  The penny drive runs through April 20.

     The Uniontown/Colton Book Club book for April is The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein.  Copies of this book are available at both libraries.  Discussion of the book will be held on April 25, 2013 at the Colton Library at 6 p.m.

     Storytimes continue on Monday mornings at 10:30 a.m. at the Colton Library for ages 1-6.  The current theme is shapes, and a different shape is celebrated each week through crafts, stories and songs.
