April is National Poetry Month and to celebrate, the Weston Public Library will hold a Haiku poetry contest. All entries must be submitted to westonlibrary@westonct.gov by Haiku Poetry Day on April 17! The contest will be judged by Weston’s own Ray Rauth and a special guest judge and the winner will receive a special poetry themed gift basket. 

The Friends of Weston Library welcome ArtScapades back for a second lecture you can watch in your own home…via ZOOM!

Please register and we will send you the Zoom link prior to the event.

Stop by the Library for a free seed bomb full of wildflower seeds native to Connecticut. Each seed bomb contains seeds and soil wrapped in air dry clay. As the clay dissolves, the seeds will grow. While supplies last!

How To Borrow:

Complete a MakerSpace agreement form at the Library or click here to print one out at home. Anyone under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian sign the form as well. Kits go out for 2 weeks and are available in the Library Cafe!
