Upcoming Events at Hackley Public Library




Get Your Garden Growing
May 22

2:00 pm

Help plant the beautiful Hackley Garden, then take seeds and plants home to start your own garden. Kids will enjoy a veggie taste test and garden quiz, then roll up their sleeves for outdoor work. The sunflowers, zinnias, and marigolds kids plant will beautify the Library all summer. Program leader is Connie VanDeKoppel from the Lakeshore Garden Masters.

Please call the Youth Services Department at 231-722-7276 x 230.





Write your Life
Saturday, May 22

10:00 am at the Torrent House

Julia Hackley Room

During a Write Your Life Workshop, you will learn proven techniques to remember, organize, and write your autobiography using manageable steps that, when added up, will help you achieve your goal. Participants will also learn literary techniques used by professional writers to create interesting characters, memorable settings and compelling action woven together in stories that honor your life journey.

Stories transmit family values from one generation to the next. Perspective of your own life shifts as you get to know your own hero within, celebrate roots, gain deeper insights and affirm who you are today. You will know and love your family in a whole new way as you gather stories. Even difficult memories can be woven into memoir in this supportive atmosphere. Are you ready to quit talking about getting your story written and to start writing? This class will help you do that.

Registration is required. Please call 231-722-7276 to register.
