Spring events at Greenfield Library

  Though there is snow on the ground, I think that March came in like a lamb, so beware, around the corner may be a Lion! It is wonderful to think that winter is almost over and soon there will be flowers blooming and all the green coming back to life. If you want to start planning a spring project, now is the time to come on in and get a couple of books to give you new ideas. We have lots of outdoor project books, and gardening plans, and even some on spring cleaning ideas.That lion may bring us some bad weather yet, but you'll be ready for the spring days ahead. Come on in and check us out!
