Who loves new books? The scent of new books has hit the Malden library! The Malden Library just received large boxes of new kids, J, J NF and YA books thanks to the Pilcrow Foundation's Children’s Book Project Grant, generously matched by the Friends of Whitman County Library. Thank you to all who made this wonderful addition possible. We have lots of new books about gardening, summer activities and all around amazing titles for you to look through. The Colfax, Albion and Rosalia branches got some too.

Thank you Miss Carolyn for the Easter baskets! The kids were also able to bring baskets home to their siblings if they couldn’t make it to the library. Don’t forget the town of Malden is having their annual Easter Celebration this Saturday at 1 pm. We hope everyone has a great weekend.

Our kids garden club has been doing amazing. Haven’t been able to get many new pictures because we’ve been transplanting and planting new seeds. All are welcome to come on Mondays at 3:30. Our Gardner loves to answer questions and help gardeners of all ages.

Kids Garden club every Monday starting at 330.
Today we had a wonderful treat from Miss Jeanne. She brought homemade strawberry jam (we have some fun things planned for the summer,one activity is making our own jams). We also learned why the seed sprouts were all leaning towards one way. They were growing towards the sunlight. So we made sure to turn all of our pants so that they will grow the other way now. The kids weeded out a couple little weeds that popped up also.
