Pet Show

Last night the second annual Pet Show was held on the library lawn. Several dogs and two fish were in attendance along with their owners, and we were happy to welcome Kim Elliot from the Newton Falls Animal Hospital as our guest judge. Everyone had a great time, including the pets.

Growing Garden

The Library Sprouts Garden is still growing. The kids are enjoying green beans to snack on, and quite a few zucchini, squash and green peppers have been donated to the Newton Falls Food Pantry.

Next up...Tomatoes

Harvesting

The Library Gardeners are beginning to harvest vegetables from our garden.

Last Saturday the kids tasted fresh green beans, and so far we have donated zucchini, summer squash and spinach and other greens to the Newton Falls Food Pantry. We hope there will be more to come.

Water Babies and Bubbles

This past Friday, the Newton Falls Public Library welcomed very young children for an outdoor program called Water Babies.

We read stories, played in the water and chased bubbles on the lawn.


Everyone had a great time getting wet, and playing together, despite a few raindrops as the program ended.
