Hello From Moyer

Fairy Garden Class

Join us Monday, May 6th from 6:30-7:30 PM and make your own fairy garden. A local master gardener will share information on their history then help each person create a magical garden to take home. This class is open to all ages. Kids are welcome with an adult; you may choose to make one garden together or two gardens. 

Space is limited and sign up is required. We are charging a $15 fee per garden, which is due upon sign up. This fee helps pay for the pot, soil, plants, and more. The only thing you need to bring is a fairy or other small item to live in your garden. With water and a little love, your garden will last into the fall. 

Save the date - Master Gardens will return to Moyer on Monday, June 3 at 6:30 PM for a free program on container gardens. 

Craft Corner

The next craft day is Tuesday, May 7th from 10 AM - 1 PM. Craft Corner meets each month in Moyer’s Program Room to craft and chat. Bring a craft project to work on and come enjoy the company. It's also a chance to share and learn skills. Stay all three hours or come for part–you choose! No sign up is necessary and all are welcome. Please bring your own project to work on. Supplies/projects are not provided.

May Card Making

May is a lovely time to send snail mail! Join one of Mary McCormick’s card making classes on Tuesday May 14th. The afternoon session runs from 1:30-3 and the evening session from 6:00-8:00. Come enjoy calm crafting time and leave with four beautiful handmade cards. 

A $12 fee is charged to cover the cost of materials. Call or stop by Moyer to sign up.

Taylor Swift or Emily Dickinson?!

In celebration of National Poetry Month, we’ve made you a game. Can you tell the difference between a Taylor Swift lyric and an Emily Dickinson poetry line? It’s harder than you may think. (Ask Jess who managed 2 out of 6!) Visit Moyer and try your hand.

Eclipse Glasses Recycling

Looking to recycle your eclipse glasses? Drop them off at Moyer between now and April 27th. We'll mail them into a collection site approved by Astronomers Without Borders. 😎

Make Paper Snails

Drop by Moyer’s Kid Craft Table this week to make snails. These cute rolled paper mollusks are sure to bring smiles. We have a variety of paper colors and crayons. Choose bright colors, natural colors, or both. Be sure to show the people at the circ desk before you go! We know you’ll snail it!

Tiny Art Contest

Let’s make art this spring! Middle school kids, high school teens, and adults of all ages are all invited to join our Tiny Art Contest. It’s simple: Take home a tiny canvas. Decorate it however you like. Return it to the library. 

Pick up a free canvas starting April 1st. It must be completed and returned to the library by Tuesday, April 30th.

Canvases will be displayed at the library. Moyer’s board, staff, and patrons will select favorites. Each favorite will earn a prize. We cannot wait to see what you come up with!
