Guest Speakers Eileen Dray-Bardon & Cheryl Mateva from The Beaver Creek Wildlife Education Center will present an informative program about how to plant a garden that attracts butterflies and other pollinators.
Before the program is a Plant Swap, the rules are simple for the plant swap, bring a plant in a pot or a bag including the identifying name and take a plant.
Listen as Mother & Daughter share how it was like growing up, at an early age and how they adapted and learned to communicate in a deaf community. This program includes basic signing techniques.
Join fellow writers in discussion about writing, publishing, and grammar. If you would like the group to critique your writing submit five pages a week before the meeting to dolly@lepperlibrary.org.
This program is made possible in part by state tax dollars allocated by the Ohio Legislature to the Ohio Arts Council (OAC). The OAC is a state agency that funds and supports quality arts experiences to strengthen Ohio communities culturally, educationally, and economically.

The eagerly awaited return of master American storyteller Rinker Buck, Life on the Mississippi is an epic, enchanting blend of history and adventure in which Buck builds a wooden flatboat from the grand “flatboat era” of the 1800s and sails it down the Mississippi River, illuminating the forgotten past of America’s first western frontier. Seven years ago, readers around the country fell in love with a singular American voice: Rinker Buck, whose infectious curiosity about history launched him across the West in a covered wagon pulled by mules and propelled his book about the trip, The Oregon Trail, to ten weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. Now, Buck returns to chronicle his latest incredible adventure: building a wooden flatboat from the bygone era of the early 1800s and journeying down the Mississippi River to New Orleans. A modern-day Huck Finn, Buck casts off down the river on the flatboat Patience accompanied by an eccentric crew of daring shipmates. Over the course of his voyage, Buck steers his fragile wooden craft through narrow channels dominated by massive cargo barges, rescues his first mate gone overboard, sails blindly through fog, breaks his ribs not once but twice, and camps every night on sandbars, remote islands, and steep levees. As he charts his own journey, he also delivers a richly satisfying work of history that brings to life a lost era.
