Windsor Public Library

On Saturday, June 5 from 10 - 12, we will be planting vegetables and flowers in our garden. The plants were grown in a greenhouse and need to be transplanted into the garden bed.

Volunteers will be outside and should plan to wear clothing that might get dirty. Masks will be required when social distancing is not possible. 

Please email Gabbie Barnes at barnes@townofwindsorct.com if you're interested in helping out. 

As a precursor to our Juneteenth Celebration, we present a virtual, dramatic reading of "Day of Tears," Julius Lester's riveting novel-in-dialogue on Saturday, June 12 from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM. "Day of Tears" tells the story of the largest sale of enslaved individuals in American history. In early March, 1859, a Georgia plantation owner sold over 450 people to cover his gambling debts; this auction would affect hundreds of lives for generations to come.

Join Director Laurie Maria Cabral and the "Day of Tears" cast for this free public performance via Zoom. Suitable for children in grades 3 and older. 

Registration required by June 7 to receive zoom link. https://www.windsorlibrary.com/wilson-events/sign-up-for-a-wilson-program/
