Solitude Farmz will be visiting the Oxford Memorial Library this weekend to share their experience and knowledge of Monarch butterflies. Join us for their presentation about the raising, releasing, and tagging of Monarch butterflies. At a time when the population of these beautiful butterflies has declined by 90% it is extremely important to learn about the stewardship practices Solitude Farmz has developed and use. This program is open to all ages and everyone is encouraged to come!
Solitude Farmz is a Monarch Waystation certified by the Monarch Watch organization. Monarch Waystations have to meet specific criteria by providing things such as native milkweeds, nectar plants, shelter for Monarch butterflies. If you are interested in visiting this Monarch Waystation yourself, Solitude Farms is a five star rated Airbnb host.
Need to de-stress? Miss the fun freedom of coloring as a child? Want to do something creative? If any of these apply to you then we think you would love our Adult Coloring Night at the Oxford Memorial Library!
Studies have found that coloring reduces anxiety, reduces stress, improves brain function, and more! Coloring is also a lot of fun and shouldn’t be just for kids. Come to the Oxford Memorial Library on Wednesday evening May 15th at 5:30pm to relax and have some fun. We will provide coloring sheets, colored pencils, markers, crayons, and light refreshments. If you have an adult coloring book at home or a favorite set of markers feel free to bring them! This is an adult program for ages 16 and older.
Family Game Night is the third Thursday each month at the Oxford Memorial Library! Bring the family or some friends to have fun playing a variety of board games.
