Scrapbooking Workshop
Introduction to Scrapbooking Workshop will be held at the library on Sunday, May 7 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. This program is presented by Jennifer Hills, Creative Memories Consultant.
If you take the time to take pictures, it is worth taking the time to properly care for, store and showcase them as well. Jennifer will demonstrate how to “scrap” or decorate with a variety of cutting tools and will help participants create a “short story care.” This project can be given as a card, put in an album or even set up as a picture type display – just in time for Mother’s Day! There is no cost, just bring 2 or 3 related pictures or copies of pictures.
Library Hours
In observance of Memorial Day, the Raymond Village Library will be closed May 29.

Plant Sale and Paperback Book Sale
Attention all gardeners, plant and flower lovers: Now is the time for cleaning out those flowerbed, dividing and replacing your favorite blooms. The Raymond Village Library’s Plant Sale on June 24, from 7 a.m. to noon, can use all those extra plants you will be thinning out or removing to make room for new seedlings. Please put these aside and plan to bring them to the library, June 23, the day before the sale from 4 to 7 p.m. Members of the Hawthorne Garden Club have planned to start seedlings for the plant sale and we are excited to have their generous boost to the variety in the sale. Perennials are very popular, as well as groundcovers, herbs, flowering shrubs, vine, bedding plants and other annuals. Houseplants are also welcome. For further information: Susan, 655-1010; Jane, 655-5354; Irene, 655-4711. In conjunction with the plant sale, the paperback book sale will begin on June 24, at the library. Donations for the book sale may be brought to the library during open hours.
