SUMMER PROGRAM FOR ADULTS
Canton Free Library’s summer reading program is"Water Your Mind." Participants fill out little forms for each book read from the reading list and place them in the watering can on the display table. Win prizes generously donated by local businesses. Sue Cutway won our first prize drawing. She won a decorative garden flag donated by White's Flowers. The next drawing is Friday, July 30.

The first of two special events is a Water Garden Tour on August 4, hosted by Anneke Larrance. Ms. Larrance will teach the basics of water gardening, including situating a pond - its layout, construction and maintenance. Meet at the Canton Free Library at 6:00 pm; we’ll leave for her home at 6:15 pm. Carpooling is suggested; let Annette know if you need a ride by calling 386-3712. The program will end with a freelance walk around the rest of the Larrance gardens, and we will arrive back at the library between 7:30-7:45 pm.

Stay tuned for further details of “Water You Mind’s” Spa Event, coming up in August!
