Seeds available at Ennismore library

Spring is upon us, and the Ennismore Library has a seed library that is open to everyone. It is sponsored by the Ennismore Sprouts, part of the Ennismore Horticultural Society.

This project encourages community members to grow their own flowers and fresh food, promotes healthy eating and increases awareness of self-sustaining gardens. Stop by the Ennismore Branch to pick up your seeds. If you have extra seeds at home you can also donate them to the seed library.

Big Screen Movie night is happening at the Bridgenorth Library on April 19 at 7:30 p.m. with a showing of Hidden Figures.

There will be free popcorn, drinks for $1.00, and there is a suggested donation of $2 for admission. Registration is required. Call 705292-5065 to reserve seats.
