Grow with Me at the Calhoun County Library

            Children grow up so fast. They say their first words, try their first solid foods, and before you know it, they have gotten their first growth spurt. Reading is a big part of your child’s growth, and the Calhoun County Library is getting ready for the upcoming Grow with Me program to celebrate children in our area.

On Saturday, March 29, 2025, we are having our annual spring program, Grow with Me. This event is going to be from 10 AM - 12 PM. Children will enjoy planting their very own tomato plant to take home while local garden club members teach them about the necessities for a plant to survive. Children can also make a pine cone bird feeder and then plant a “Hairy Harry” cup which will grow hair in the coming days. They’ll also leave with a windowsill garden, a bean-in-a-bag to sprout at home, and a free book. While they’re here, they can learn about the parts of a flower, pet baby animals, and enjoy a healthy snack. They can even take a picture with Peter Rabbit! This program highlights how important it is to care for things that grow, including the children themselves!

Spring is when everything starts to bloom and the Calhoun County Library wants to make sure that every child has what they need to grow including books, so mark your calendars and get ready to Grow with Me!
