The Palos Heights Library will start their bi-monthly Story Hour at the Palos Heights Farmers Market this Wednesday May 21 at 10 a.m. Ms. Rebecca will be reading garden stories. There will be an easy flower craft for the children to make. The library will be celebrating its 70th anniversary this year with giveaways at each farmers market visit. There will be a drawing for one of the new library cookbooks. Additional cookbooks will be sold for $10.00. Library Story Hour will be held at 10 am on the first and third Wednesdays of every summer month at the farmers market.

SWADDLE (SouthWest Area Diaper Depository for Little Ends) will be the guest of the Community Tent.

Donations will be accepted at the tent, and will be distributed to families in need via Catholic Charities and Together We Cope. More information about the organization can be found at www.swaddlediapers.org
