From preschool to professional, Plano Public Library (PPL) has something for everyone. Not interested in reading? No biggie – PPL is #morethanbooks! Check out some of their upcoming events – in-person and virtual – for all your educating and entertaining needs:
- Start gardening (adults)
Are you new to gardening in Texas? Learn how to choose basic garden tools, how to transplant successfully and how to sustain your Texas landscape with very little supplemental water at the Garden Green in Plano: Basics for Beginners workshop. Sustainability and Environmental Education Division will be at Schimelpfenig Library on Tuesday, March 5 from 6:30-8pm to teach this educational gardening class. You can see previously recorded virtual programs from SEED on the library’s YouTube channel.
- Work on a screenplay (ages 16+)
This spring season, The Write Workshop is focusing on screenplays! PPL has two sessions in March so you can learn how to format your own screenplay with hands-on exercises while connecting with fellow local authors:
- Saturday, March 9 from 10am-12pm: Screenplay Formatting Basics
- Saturday, March 30 from 10am-12pm: Start Your Screenplay
Both sessions meet at Schimelpfenig Library.
- See freshly hatched baby chicks (all ages)
PPL has partnered with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension to share the process of egg to chick at Davis Library with eggs in an incubator on display at Davis Library. The library is hosting a Hatch Day celebration on March 12 at 3pm at Davis Library to celebrate the chicks’ arrival.
