Spring is in full bloom and the Wareham Free Library has planned two events to kick off the season.

On Wednesday, April 13, at 7:00 p.m., the library will be hosting naturalist and educator Joy Marzolf from the Joys of Nature to talk about native plant gardening for wildlife. The best way to attract butterflies, birds or other critters to the backyard is to plant native plants. Animals need plants for many reasons, including shelter and food. In this talk, Joy will explain how gardening choices can help turn a garden into a wildlife sanctuary. The program is free and sponsored by the Friends of the Wareham Free Library.

Also in April, get creative with the First Annual Peeps Diorama Contest taking place April 19 through 23. Create a unique and original diorama using Peeps Marshmallow Candies as the main characters. Bring them to the library between April 11 through 16 during regular library hours for display. Prizes will be awarded for the categories of Adult, Children (under 13), family (or group) and the PEEP-les Choice award. The event is sure to be fun for PEEPle of all ages, wrote Library Director Patrick Marshall.
