Coming up: It is almost time to plant the Carnegie Garden! Join Ohio State Extension Office Master Garden volunteers and library staff on Saturday, May 18 at 11 a.m. The garden needs plenty of helping hands, so we hope you will join us in planting, maintaining, and later harvesting from our six beautiful raised beds!

Stop in the children’s department and ask how!
