The load in for our Illinois Archaeology exhibit went pretty quickly thanks to our amazing set- up crew (but not quite this fast!) Apologies for the late upload--fighting with an old camcorder to download the raw footage.

It won't be long now! This ant is seen hard at work tending to its Peony blossom; nibbling along the edges helps the flowers to open more easily and the ants also do a great job of keeping harmful pests away.
If you love gardening visit our monthly group "Read 'Em & W**d", our Little Free Seed Library, or The Library Cafe to try one of our seasonal floral themed drinks, such as the popular Royal Lavender Latte featuring White Chocolate, Blackberry and Lavender flavors.
