Level up your garden for adults and teens at the Fort Dodge Public Library on Monday

Help us kick off the Fort Dodge Public Library adult and teen summer reading program by joining us at 6 p.m. Monday to make a pollinator watering station at the library, 424 Central Ave. Join us in the large meeting room to paint terracotta pots and fill them with glass pebbles for bees and other pollinators to land on and drink without drowning, while supplies last. Take them home and put them in your garden, on your deck, or on your windowsills to help the pollinators. For more information, contact us at 515-573-8167, ext. 6233, or visit our website at www.fortdodgelibrary.org
