North Webster Library To Host Herb Growing Class May 18
NORTH WEBSTER — If your goal is healthy eating, fresh herbs are a good way to add healthy nutrients to your diet while providing abundant flavor to any dish.
Learn to grow your own herbs at North Webster Community Public Library at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, May 18. Janette Stackhouse, a.k.a. The Herb Lady, has been growing herbs for many years and will share her knowledge about growing, harvesting and preserving fresh herbs. Because store-bought herbs can be expensive, growing your own can save you money, and it is more convenient because they are always on hand. The herb class is free and open to the public.
Hiring a computer consultant can be expensive, too. Get free computer advice at Geek Speak at 1 p.m. Thursday, May 16. In the second class of his computer consulting series, Ian Crighton will talk about computer back-up solutions. With over 20 years of computer consulting experience, he will answer your questions and share his expertise. Other computer topics in the Geek Speak series are hardware basics from laptops to networks on June 20 and mobile computing including phones and tablets on July 18. All classes are free and open to the public.
Openings are still available for the Mixed Media workshop at 2 p.m. Monday, May 13. Artist Golden Seaton will help you create a mixed media art piece using watercolors and repurposed papers, fabric and other items. The cost is $15 and includes all art supplies.

Lego Club in the youth department is scheduled for 1 p.m. Saturday, May 11. Bring kids ages five to 12 for some freestyle Lego building fun. Legos are provided.
May’s adult reading contest is all about mothers. Read a book, listen to an audio book or watch a DVD with a mother as a character.
