Wellfield program finds winter home at EPL

The Wellfield Gardens Lil’ Sprouts program, continues for the winter months inside the warm and cozy EPL.

From November to March the environmentally focused education program for preschool aged children will be held at the downtown branch, according to Jodie Papandrea, manager of volunteer and guest services for Wellfield.

“We’re so grateful for the library to partner with us, otherwise we couldn’t hold it through the winter months,” she said.

The last library hosted program will be Tuesday, March 20 at 10 a.m.

Papandrea said the hour-long program uses stories, music and activities to teach children about the environment.

“We usually have a story, a craft or activity, hands on learning and a couple different activities,” she said.

The date for the Lil’ Sprouts program that will be held at the library is:

March 20

It will return to the Wellfield Gardens beginning in April.

Preregistration for the program is requested so that enough materials can be provided she said. Registration is available on the Wellfield’s website or by calling the gardens at 574-266-2006.
