Last week's Paint and Plant Wellness Class was a hit! Our participants created their own unique planter, then filled it with the foliage of their choice. The activity was accompanied by a discussion of mental health awareness and how plants, nature, and other creative outlets benefit our overall mental health.

Thank you to RejuveNate - Plants & Wellness LLC for hosting this relaxing, creative, and educational program!

What a swashbuckling good time we had earlier this month with the Duelling Dames. Sword fighting isn't something we would normally expect to see in the library...but who gets to define normal any how 😆

Our swordsters left with a vast knowledge of how to compete toe to toe, and everyone went home a winner. We even got a few moms to join in the fun!

Thank you to The Friends of the Lemont Public Library for sponsoring this amazing program. We are so grateful for the experiences our Friends help us bring to patrons of all ages!
