March was filled with some wonderful events for adults. Below is a quick recap of what took place at the Livingston Library this month.
The library was excited to host local author Jane Fischer for the event If You Knew Suzy: An Author Talk with Jane Fischer. We also enjoyed virtual author talk events with the Library Speakers Consortium such as Power of Reset and How to Change What’s Not Working with Author Dan Heath, How Women’s Liberation Transformed America: In Conversation with Clara Bingham, and Dreams We Chase: An Author Talk with Novelist Jennifer Weiner.
Those looking to get started with spring gardening enjoyed our Seed Library Kickoff. Seeds are available in the card catalog across from the Adult Services Desk. Gardeners also enjoyed the workshop Deer Resistant Gardening with Native Plants. Those who enjoy backyard bird watching in their gardens also gained valuable insight during the lecture Bird Feeding Blunders: What to Avoid in Your Backyard.
Those looking to get started on spring cleaning enjoyed the workshops Possessed by Possessions: The Gentle Art of Decluttering and Downsizing Heirlooms and Collectibles.
