We know there are gardeners out there, so I wanted to make sure you know that you can get advice from the gardeing expert, Melinda Meyers. She is a regular guest on Larry Mueller's "Garden talk" on WPR but you can speak to her in-person at Eberts' over the coming weekends. Don't skip the free webinars on pollinator gardens! Some of her programs are affiliated with the Milwaukee Public Library.
Should we ask her to visit our village?

Celebrating Five Years of Dolly Parton's Imagination Library

TalkReadPlay is proud to celebrate five years of inspiring young readers through its partnership with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library - an effort that continues to make a meaningful impact in Dodge and Jefferson Counties.

Since the partnership began, 3,437 children have participated or are currently enrolled in our affiliate program, reaching an impressive 91% of eligible children in our service area. Even more remarkable, 77,066 books have been delivered right to children’s homes.

We're honored to bring this program to the communities we serve, and are thankful for our many partners who help spread the word. Together, we're fostering families' joy of reading together and are nurturing curiosity, imagination, and early literacy for the next generation.
====================================
The Friends of Johnson Creek Public Library was one of the first DPIL partners with Greater Watertown Area Health Foundation.
