Library
Are you looking forward to spotting butterflies at the Columbia Pike Branch Library's Papillon Parc on the Pike?
Work has already started to prepare the garden - our tireless volunteers and young library visitors are clearing out the winter debris and planting new seeds.
This year we will be adding a new garden in conjunction with the Arlington Career Center and Virginia Cooperative Extension. This garden will provide fruits and vegetables for the Arlington Career Center's Culinary Arts Program.
Please come visit and plant some seeds (available for a limited time at the 1st floor desk)!
You can also follow the garden's progress on flickr.
