Gardiner Public Library

FIZZ BOOM READ

by

The Gardiner Public Library summer reading program for 2014 is off to a great start!

 

Summer is the perfect time for kids to read books just for fun.  No tests, book reports or pressure involved.

Our first story hour/craft day involved making markers to identify plants that were acquired to go into our library garden as well as the actual planting of flowers, herbs & vegetables.

 

Unlike past years, the sun shone on our endeavor and the children worked hard to get everything planted.

 

Check out our calendar for future events.
Everyone welcome!

From the Archives

by

For a change, I thought I would showcase some postcards that are in the Archives Room. 

 

 

These postcards, from around 1906, show some of the ships that went up and down the Kennebec River with supplies and people.  
 
If you have old postcards of the Gardiner area that you are willing to donate, the Gardiner Public Library would love to have them.  These postcards are just one of the things that the Archives Room at the library has to show our customers.
