Our new garden is in progress!
The library has applied for and received a grant from The Garden Conservancy for a Victorian landscaped garden. This process was spearheaded by the Quiet Corner Garden Club. The garden has been designed to use historically accurate plantings and will be named after Alathea Lord, an Abington woman who was instrumental in the early development of the library. Much shovel effort and heavy equipment work is being provided by local volunteers and some library board members to make this garden possible. Be sure to check back to see our progress.
