Flower Arranging Class: Wednesday, May 9 at 7 pm

Posted on April 28, 2012 | Comments Off

Just in time for Mothers Day!

Join us at this fun and hands-on workshop to learn how to make a beautiful springtime arrangement that you can keep for yourself, or give to a mother, sister, auntie, daughter, or other gal in your life. The workshop will be taught by Newton residents Joanne Lyons and Susan Lunin. The instructors have entered arrangements in many flower shows, and they are active members of the Temple Shalom Garden Club. (Joanne is also currently studying to become a flower show judge, but she’ll go easy on you in her critiques…)

This class is intended for adults or high school students, though younger children may participate if they will be working on an arrangement with an adult (lovely mother/daughter bonding, anyone?). Supplies fee – $25 payable at registration (scholarships are available).

Pre-registration is required! The class will be capped at 15 participants. Email us to register – activities@auburndalelibrary.org

Newton Serves at the ACL: Sunday, April 29th from 12:30-3:30

Posted on April 16, 2012 | Comments Off

It’s that time of year again…  We’re looking for a crew to assist with our annual grounds clean-up for Newton Serves at the ACL.  Join us (rain or shine!) for some general spruce up work, mulch spreading, and some light planting at the library.  More details forthcoming, but if you will be available to help out, we’d appreciate your pre-registering online with the city: http://www.newtoncommunitypride.org/NewtonSERVES-volunteer-2012.php.
Or, you may email one of our Newton Serves coordinators, the fabulous Liz Noon at liznoon@comcast.net.  If you are unavailable for Newton Serves, but would like to lend a hand some other time with gardening around the library, Liz would love to add you to her roster of volunteers.

In Need Of…A Couch Slipcover

Posted on April 16, 2012 | Comments Off

We’re looking to give the couch in the adult non-fiction area a little facelift (the one in the fiction area was recently donated–it’s in great shape).  Might anyone out there have a slipcover that is in good condition and would aesthetically blend with our decor style of “community library chic”?  Please let danakhanson@gmail.com know.  Thanks!
