It’s time to start getting the Ontario community garden ready for the season. We have tentatively set a garden workday for Monday, May 16, at 8:30 a.m., weather permitting. We will clean up the garden and get it ready for planting. Watch our website (www.wrlsweb.org/ontario) or give us your email address if you would like up-to-date information on dates and times for workdays.

“On Your Mark, Get Set, Read!” is the theme for our summer reading program for children in kindergarten through sixth grade. Programs will be offered on Mondays and Wednesdays in June beginning Monday, June 6. There are different programs each day, so come to any or all. Our programs will be in June only, as the Norwalk-Ontario-Wilton School District’s summer programs are in July.
