Spring is calling, and the garden is ready to rise and shine! Join us as we wake up the garden with planting, sign-making, and setting up support beams for the growing season. This hands-on, all-ages program marks the start of our annual garden efforts and is offered in partnership with Anchor Gardens. Whether you’re a seasoned grower or just curious to get your hands in the soil, come help the garden come alive.

Learn the basics of binary code and create your own colorful bracelet that spells out your initials or a secret word—computer style! Participants will be introduced to how computers use 0s and 1s to represent information. Using a simple key, kids will convert letters into binary, then use two bead colors to represent 0s and 1s as they craft a wearable piece of code. A fun, hands-on way to combine STEM learning with creativity!
Meet and pet real goats from The Tiny Home(stead), a family farm in Chugiak, and learn about what it takes to raise animals and run a farm in Alaska.
Location: Join us outside at Chanshtnu-Muldoon Park, a short walk to the south of the library. We will be at the natural grass section under the trees at the south-west corner of the park, almost exactly where Debarr makes a T with Muldoon. If the weather is unsafe for the goats, we'll meet in the Program Room at the Library for related farming activities! Feel free to call and check the day of the event: 907-343-4032.
Details: The goats can accommodate about 20 guests at a time. Sessions with the goats are limited and first-come, first serve; please see staff for a "boarding group" and wait for your turn. We'll bring sidewalk chalk while we're waiting.
Note: we anticipate this program will fill up quickly. Double-check your destination to arrive on time and enjoy the show.
