Are you ready for even more May flowers? We are! It’s finally beginning to really feel like spring outside, and we couldn’t be more excited at the Northampton Area Public Library.

If we ask very nicely when it’s nice and warm in the morning, maybe Miss Tessa will even move storytimes outside before we switch to summer reading mode!

Feeling crafty? Adult craft hour for our pressed flower votives is scheduled for 6 p.m. May 5.

Teen fruit slice coaster kits will be also available for pickup starting May 5.

In addition, we have a children’s craft every other week. Look out for Bubble Wrap flowers for Mother’s Day May 1, and there will be egg carton flowers and mushrooms May 19.
