Check out the Ontario Public Library community garden and see the progress on the garden storage shed.

Due to July’s flooding, we may not have produce, but Monica Jagel is painting a beautiful sunflower that is taking shape. Stop by and see the progress.

Garden produce from donations is often available in the library entryway. If you have extra produce you would like to share, you can drop it off at the library during our open hours.

Playgroups will begin Wednesday, Sept. 13, at 10 a.m. for children from 3–5 years old. Join us for stories, activities and crafts that are fun and promote school readiness.

The Sock’ Em knitting group will start its September Mystery Sock at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 6. Bring 100g of solid-color sock yarn and needles to make a gauge of 30 sts. to 4 inches. You will get instructions to knit a portion each month, but will not see the whole pattern until the end. Join us!

The book group will discuss “Small Great Things” by Jodi Picoult at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 13.

According to the publisher’s blurb, “With incredible empathy, intelligence, and candor, Jodi Picoult tackles race, privilege, prejudice, justice, and compassion — and doesn’t offer easy answers.”

Stop by the library for a copy if you would like to join the discussion of this thought-provoking novel.

The library will have a book sale this fall, and we are accepting donations of gently used books, audio books and DVDs. Donations can be dropped off at the library during our open hours.

The library will be closed Saturday, Sept. 2, and Monday, Sept. 4, for the Labor Day weekend.
