The Friends for the Piermont Public Library sponsored two events that were held on Saturday, September 12, 2009 in Piermont: the Annual Crabfest and a Book Sale held during the Applefest that took place in Flywheel Park.

Included here are a few photos from these 2009 Friends fundraising events.

Inspired in part by our June exhibit/program "Home Grown", library staff decided to experiment with some vegetables planted among shrubs and grasses in our backyard.

Here you see a sample of what we were able to grow in very limited space with a modicum of effort. With the exception of the tomatoes, everything was grown from seed. It's really fun and we would encourage you to give it a try! You can even use pots on the terrace for some of these plants - although that probably wouldn't work too well with the wild and crazy squash!

Thanks to garden designer Mary Ellen LeWarn for her advice and able assistance.

Beginning on September 20th, 2009, the library will embark on a new series of programs called Piermont: Friends and Neighbors.

Programs will be held at 2 p.m. on Sunday afternoons and will bring some of our very talented residents to the library to speak about the interesting and important work they do.
