Geneseo Current
The Geneseo Public Library is buzzing with all kinds of activity. The concrete for the Reading Garden has been poured and the two resident caterpillars have changed into chrysalises.
Library staff is preparing for a class for “little ones” (ages 4-9) at 9 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 1, which will be under the direction of former preschool teacher Donna Piekos.
The session will include a variety of activities and “hopefully,” a butterfly release.
This spring, the library received a flat of milk weed plants as part of a grant to help the Monarch butterflies prosper in the area. A spokesperson for the library said, “Unfortunately Mother Nature does things on her own schedule, so there is a chance the butterflies may complete their metamorphosis by Aug. 1, and will be gone, but we have a few reserve caterpillars that may help us out.” Contributed Photos
