Turtles Visit the Claysburg Library

The Claysburg Library hosted a Turtle Talk program on March 22. John Bandzuh from the Blair County Conservation District came to the library and brought some friends. He talked about the kinds of turtles he brought and their habitat. The children were encouraged to touch the turtles and feed them.

Mark your calendar for some future programs at the library. On April 12, the Claysburg-Kimmel High School Ag Club will be at the library to offer an Easter Egg Hunt for young children. Children can get a picture taken with the Easter Bunny as he will make an appearance.

Many look forward to the library's Used Book Sales. The library is gathering and organizing donated books in their garage. May 2 through 5 and May 7, the garage will be open for purchasing books. Books can be purchased with a donation of the customer's choice. Library members cleaned out the old books that didn't sell in past sales and have new book donations. The sale will take place during library hours, which are Monday 10 to 7, Tuesday 10 to 5, Wednesday 10 to 5, Thursday 10 to 7 and Saturday 9 to 1.

Do you watch the Kentucky Derby and wish you had such a beautiful hat? The library will have a Kentucky Derby Hat craft class on May 5 at 6 p.m., just in time for the Kentucky Derby. Participants may gather a hat, flowers and ribbon or use some of what is available at the library. Please register at the library. Call (814) 239-2782.

John Bandzuh will return to the library on May 12 to present a Planter Workshop at 6:30 p.m. Please register at the library so he can have an idea how many materials to bring.
