Native Pollinator Gardens is on Friday, April 26 at 2:00 PM in the Suzette Brumleve Memorial Effingham Public Library’s Workman Room.
A pollinator garden is a type of garden designed with the purpose of growing specific nectar and pollen-producing plants that will attract pollinating insects. In a native pollinator garden, the plants selected provide pollinating insects (a.k.a. pollinators) with particularly high value nectar and pollen. Choosing native plants can help local pollinators such as bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, bats, and more. Pollinators are responsible for one out of three bites of food we take each day and they are essential for the health of our ecosystems and the health of many of our food crops.
Erin Goldstein of Teutopolis will discuss how one can design and plant a native pollinator garden. Erin is also in the process of planting a native pollinator garden at the Library. Effingham Public Library Director Amanda McKay says, "We are very glad to have Erin come to the Library and speak on this topic. The Library has many resources to assist and educate the amateur gardener and we feel that this program covers an often overlooked and important aspect of gardening.”
This is a free program and a library card is not needed to attend but registration is required.
To register or to learn more about this free library program, go online to effinghamlibrary.org, email info@effinghamlibrary.org or call 217-342-2464 x. 1.

Lake Sara Beach, North Beach Road, Effingham, IL, USA
The Effingham Public Library and Effingham Masonic Lodge #149 will be co-hosting a launch party for the new permanent storywalk, placed on the Lake Sara Beach grounds. The launch party will be on Friday, May 3, from 4-6 and will include free hot dogs and chips and a take and make craft, both while supplies last.
The Effingham Public Library is proud to co-sponsor the permanent storywalk with Effingham Masonic Lodge #149. This project was made possible by a grant from the Illinois Masonic Children’s Assistance Program.
The storywalk will bring a new story each month to the trail that is part of the Lake Sara Beach grounds. The story walk is intended to provide a learning environment for families to take children for an interactive family building experience for the purpose of improving literacy in the community and encouraging physical activity.
To celebrate the first story, the Effingham Public Library and the Effingham Masonic Lodge #149 will host a free launch party for the community. The public is encouraged to attend and celebrate with us. While supplies last, we will have free hot dogs and chips as well as a take and make craft.
This is a free event. For more information, go to effinghamlibrary.org or call Amanda McKay, Director, at 217-342-2464 or email to amanda@effinghamlibrary.org.
