Who loves new books? The scent of new books has hit the Malden library! The Malden Library just received large boxes of new kids, J, J NF and YA books thanks to the Pilcrow Foundation's Children’s Book Project Grant, generously matched by the Friends of Whitman County Library. Thank you to all who made this wonderful addition possible. We have lots of new books about gardening, summer activities and all around amazing titles for you to look through. The Colfax, Albion and Rosalia branches got some too.

Planting a spring garden? Come visit the Malden Library and check out our newest resource: The Soil Health Explorer Backpack. We also have a plethora of free flower and vegetable seeds to plant as the soil warms up.

Our hours are Monday and Wednesday from 2-6pm.

Thank you Miss Carolyn for the Easter baskets! The kids were also able to bring baskets home to their siblings if they couldn’t make it to the library. Don’t forget the town of Malden is having their annual Easter Celebration this Saturday at 1 pm. We hope everyone has a great weekend.

Our kids garden club has been doing amazing. Haven’t been able to get many new pictures because we’ve been transplanting and planting new seeds. All are welcome to come on Mondays at 3:30. Our Gardner loves to answer questions and help gardeners of all ages.

Kids Garden club every Monday starting at 330.
Today we had a wonderful treat from Miss Jeanne. She brought homemade strawberry jam (we have some fun things planned for the summer,one activity is making our own jams). We also learned why the seed sprouts were all leaning towards one way. They were growing towards the sunlight. So we made sure to turn all of our pants so that they will grow the other way now. The kids weeded out a couple little weeds that popped up also.

Always nice to have a full library. Crafts, gardening, computer use, reading books.

This is a great opportunity for homeschool families.

I am so sorry for the short notice but this Saturday there will be a Homeschool Swap and Meet from 11am-1pm at the Rosalia- 526 S. Whitman Ave. The idea is for homeschoolers to build community and also share, sell or trade excess curriculum and other materials. This is a new program and will probably be repeated so if you have questions, please just stop by and we will figure it out!

We have had a busy Monday! Had a great crafting circle group doing some projects! And we had our second kids garden club where the kids were able to plant the seeds they picked out. This is still an available event for children to stop in

We will be having our 2nd kids garden club meeting. This is the event where they will be planting the seeds. All children are welcome and can still pick out seeds if they haven't yet. Look out for more upcoming events.

We had a great turn out for the kids garden event. The kids had a great garden lesson, then they were able to pick out 3 different kinds of seeds that we will be planting next week. Kids are still welcome to come pick out their seeds. There are lots of seeds in our seed library for pickup.
