Happy Tuesday! We’re getting a late start this week. Let’s blame it on all that rain, shall we? But at least it’ll be a great for all the grass and flowers. That being said, reminder to all of our gardeners out there that our inaugural Library Garden Day will be Saturday, May 25th from 10:00am to 2:00pm. Bring all your gardening gear, a blanket, and a bag lunch and we’ll have a fun day sprucing up the flower beds all around Vicksburg District Library! Hopefully without the rain though. PS Free Gatorade for all who participate!
Last Week
Book Club for Adults had a great time discussing all of the different biographies they read while snacking on raspberry muffins. The next meeting will be Thursday, June 6th @ 9:00am. We will be discussing Furiously Happy by online personality and mental health advocate Jenny Lawson.
This Week
This coming Saturday, May 11th will be a busy day at the library.
First, starting at 10:00am in the Heritage Room, the Southwest Michigan Button Box Club will be having their meeting. Did you check out their display in the lobby case during April? It was a great example of the type of artwork the group produces.
Secondly, a library favorite, Tai Chi instructor Ed Kehoe will be leading a Circle Walking Class for anyone who wishes to participate. Please keep in mind that there is a $20.00 fee for each participant with this class. It starts at 10:15am and will take place in the Meeting Room downstairs.

Be sure to stop in and check it all out. if you have any questions about the display, be sure to speak with Reference Librarian Adrianne.
