Our Canning with Confidence series continues next Thursday night, June 18 at 6:30 PM.

Water bath canning is a common method for preserving high-acid foods at home. In this program you will explore proper techniques to safely preserve high-acid foods such as pie filling, pickles, salsas, jams, and jellies with electric countertop and stovetop water bath canners. Illinois Extension canning experts will demonstrate how to fill canners and heat water to the proper temperature, load a canner with jars, and process jars safely. You will learn how to preserve pie filling with a tested recipe and come away with resources to support a safe canning season.

Florist Jill from Jill's Flower Shop in Ursa was our featured guest at this week's Summer Reading program. Jill brought a beautiful sunflower arrangement and passed around a couple of sunflowers for the kids to touch and feel. Librarian Ashley read 'Sunflower House' by Eve Bunting and the kids made flower pens to take home.

Summer Reading programs are every Wednesday at 10 AM in June & July. Next week, we'll have a special visit from beloved children's book character Llama Llama!

We had an enchanted afternoon at last Saturday’s Tea Party, celebrating the publication of librarian Ms. Betsy’s latest book, ‘Lady Agatha Speaks Her Mind.’ Each table was decorated to reflect one of the characters in the book, with curated tea flavors to match!

If you had a lovely time (or missed out on the fun), the library is hosting a “How To Brew Different Kinds of Teas” demonstration, with lots of sampling, on Thursday, July 9 at 6:30 PM, in partnership with the Quincy Tea Company.

In the meantime, check out the library’s copy of ‘Lady Agatha Speaks Her Mind’ to add to your Summer Reading log! 📚☕️
