Thanks, Dover Main Street!

The library grounds received an extreme makeover on Saturday, thanks to volunteers from Dover Main Street's 8th annual "Dover Pride Clean-Up Day". The library was one of nearly 20 sites around the downtown area that were spruced up this weekend by over 300 volunteers. Led by expert gardener Valerie Renaud of Sweet Meadows Flower Shop, the library crew raked and planted and mulched and trimmed all the way from our streetside wooden sign to our front steps to our Children's Room walkway.
And the bulbs that were planted by Main Street volunteers last fall (purchased by the Friends of the Library---thanks, Friends!) are now blooming in the Soldiers' Monument circle. Dozens of daffodils and tulips make a grand entrance to our driveway! The City of Dover's downtown looks glorious thanks to Main Street's efforts on May 5. Dover's Main Street program always does such great things but often struggles to survive financially. The program needs your support and I would urge anyone who's enjoying the springtime scenery to send a small donation to Dover Main Street, 301 Central Avenue. There's not a better way to show your pleasure for downtown beautification. Thanks!!
