Reading Garden Watering Volunteers Needed


	Would you like to spend a quiet hour in the Library Reading Garden helping to keep it looking beautiful with very little effort? The Friends of the Hockessin Library need your help to water the Garden once a week from July through September. Choose your week(s) and day and provide your contact information at info@friendsofthehockessinlibrary.org. A Board member will be in touch with you to explain where to find the hose and how to use the water key.
