Hanging baskets and flowering planters, as well as geraniums suitable for Mother's Day gift-giving, will be offered at the annual spring plant sale being presented by the Friends of Moores Memorial Library on Saturday, May 7.

The fundraiser for the library will be held at the pavilion in Lions Club Park, 325 N. Bridge St., Christiana, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

"We're not going to have bedding plants or herbs this year, just the hanging baskets and plants for Mother's Day," explained Friends member Jeannette Kolb.

In addition, Randy Yoder will grill chicken halves that will be for sale beginning at 10 a.m. It is not necessary to order chicken in advance.

All proceeds will be used to benefit the library, including the upcoming Summer Reading Program.

In addition to the plant sale and chicken barbecue, the Friends group holds other fundraisers for the library throughout the year, including its annual golf tournament and book sales.

The Friends also provide volunteers to operate the Read Moore Book Store, located in the lower level of the library. The bookstore offers new and gently used books for sale, as well as a children's corner and a section for young adults. The bookstore will be open on May 7 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. More information about the bookstore is available at http://www.facebook.com/ReadMooreBookStore.

The Friends group, led by president Joan Esworthy, meets on the second Thursday of each month at the library at 2 p.m. New members are encouraged to attend. More information about the group is available at http://www.facebook.com/FriendsOfTheMooresMemorialLibrary.
