Decorate a Fish to Display in the Library!
April 1 – April 30
We’re celebrating Earth Day and the Black Earth Creek Watershed Association! Starting April 1, all ages are invited to pick up a special grab bag containing a paper fish and some crafty items that you can use to decorate it. Then bring your fish back to display in the library throughout April. We’ll have other fun activities in the library all month, too. Feel free to color a paper wildflower to hang up, go fishing for toy fish, and search for the hidden picture of a Brown Trout to earn a piece of candy.

The whole family is invited to our Earth Day and Black Earth Creek Watershed Association Celebration. Make simple bird feeders, go on a nature scavenger hunt in the library, and eat some snacks to celebrate the Black Earth Creek and Watershed. Perfect for your day off of school.
