September’s Art Exhibit is open to the public starting September 2, weekdays 10:00 A.M. until 3:00 P.M., in addition to times during the "Sacred Pathways" Events on Tuesday Evenings.

Join our library-based garden club for one (or both!) of its monthly meetups.

Tired of just talking to the roses about how the beans are handling the summer heat? Join us for some gardener to gardener conversation. Plant enthusiasts of all philosophies and experience levels are welcome. This group provides a comfortable environment for all of those questions and ideas that you’ve been whispering to the bees.

Gardeners travel between two of our locations. Sessions take place in the Millcreek Library's Community Room on the first Thursday of the month, and then meet for a different session at the Blasco Library in the Community Classroom on the last Thursday of the month. Attend the gatherings that work best for you. Come see how the library’s resources can help you and your garden grow.
