Are you anxious for spring to begin this year? Spring officially began on March 20. There are
signs that it is on its way: bulbs peeking
through the earth, insects migrating across the snow, geese returning, and
spring babies are being born.
Our Middleton branch is offering a ‘Welcome Spring’ program
on Tuesday, March 25 from 6:30 – 8:30 pm.
Come and learn how to make a colourful flower arrangement, plant some
seeds to take home and see baby lambs and bunnies. There will also be delicious
snacks to enjoy. Bring the family to welcome spring and say goodbye to winter!
A very special baby is growing up at the Oaklawn Farm Zoo. He is an African Lion and his name is Obi. Our Youth Services Librarian, Angela Reynolds, and I were fortunate to meet him this week. When entering the kitchen, Gail said “And here comes the lion, you’ll need to put your boots on top of the fridge!” The Oaklawn Farm Zoo is an incredible destination for families to visit. At this time of year, a belted Galloway calf, a horned Dorset lamb and many other species are welcoming new babies. This year Oaklawn Farm Zoo is opening on April 12. Check out their website for more information. Stay tuned for a surprise partnership with the zoo this summer! You will be as happy as we are to see what we have planned.
For many more selections for all ages, browse our online
catalogue. Reading about baby animals is a wonderful way to get excited about
spring.
