Lafayette Library and LCG Presents: It’s a Bug’s World! This Saturday at Noon

By Eli Community Events, Kids, Lafayette Library and Learning Center, Organic, Outdoor Learning Center, Sustainability

Calling all kids! Bring your parents on Saturday, June 28 from noon until 1:00pm for a hunt for hidden bugs at the Lafayette Community Garden! How many can you “spot”?

Join the Lafayette Children’s librarians a few buggy stories and learn what insects can do for and to our gardens. We will explore the world of bugs, their homes and preferred foods. Here’s your chance to dig in dirt, collect insects, inspect them, and release friendly ladybugs to help keep those pesky aphids under control.

Go ahead! Ask your parents to register you for this exciting opportunity.

By Eli Community Events, Kids

Eggs are an age-old symbol of springtime and renewal.

Stop by the garden to listen to Lafayette Library children’s librarian Ann Miller tell stories of chickens and eggs. Stay for egg decorating and crafts. See how many eggs you can find on an egg hunt around the garden. Visit our hen house for some old-fashioned “cluck, cluck, cluck” Chicken Fun!

What came first? The chicken or the egg?

This is a collaboration between the Lafayette Library and the Lafayette Community Garden.
