Worm Composter at the Library

Wednesday, August 12 at 2pm | Children to Teens

Visit the library to learn about how worms turn waste into fertile soil.  Our worm composter will be the home of a number of "red wigglers" this July who will turn waste food products into compost, which can then be used to grow healthy plants.  Drop in for both sessions to see their progress and learn about worms and compost.

Special thanks to Let's Go Compost for providing our materials for this program.
