Plants are on sale at the library. Prices range from $2.00 – $15.00.

There are some vegetable plants (tomatoes, cabbage, etc.), a few herbs (chocolate mint, & parsley) and lovely flowers.  There’s still time to add some great looking plants to your garden or pretty up your porch with a hanging basket!

Join us at the Pember Library July 15 at 6 PM to learn about the New York State Independence Trail. It will be a virtual tour of some of the most important sites of the French and Indian war and Revolutionary war — from restored forts and historic battlefields to grand government buildings and period homes.

The New York State Independence Trail is a not-for-profit organization headquartered in Lake George, NY. The trail starts at Fort Chambly in Quebec and goes through Valcour Island in Lake Champlain, Crown Point and Ticonderoga, Roger’s Rock, and Whitehall (birthplace of the US Navy). Stops in the Lake George, Glens Falls and Queensbury areas include Fort William Henry, Fort George and Battlefield Park, Knox Trail, Bloody Pond, Halfway Brook, and Cooper’s Cave. The Revolutionary War Cemetery in Salem is also on the trail. There are about 30 more sites from Schuylerville and Saratoga south along the Hudson to NY City.

There will be a short video presentation and map brochures available. We can talk about some of the sites within easy driving distance of Granville and there will be books available if you want to learn more.

The program is part of the New York State Summer Reading Program, Explore New York, for teens and adults. All are welcome.
