Two Great March Events at the Redwood City Public Library: Antique Auto Display and a Spring Gardening Workshop

Redwood City, CA - March 1 , 2006 - The Redwood City Public Library announces two outstanding events taking place in March.

First, on Sunday, March 5, there will be a display of antique automobiles in the public parking lot next to the Downtown Library at the corner of Jefferson and Middlefield Roads from 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. The community is invited to take a close look at these lovingly restored cars – and, it’s a great opportunity to get information from antique car club members about the cars and car restoring. The event is free and promises a great time for kids, families, adults, and seniors! Members of the Mid Peninsula Old Time Auto Club will be on hand to answer any questions about the vehicles.

Books and photos of antique cars to complement Sunday’s event are on display in the Downtown Library through March 5.

Then, on Thursday, March 9, a Spring Gardening Workshop comes to the Downtown Library at 7:30 p.m. Erhard Wegman will offer expert local information on planting for successful spring veggies and flowers. Erhard Wegman is part of the family that has owned Wegman 's Nursery in Redwood City for 45 years. The community is invited to bring their gardening “frequently asked questions” to this informational and fun event! And, participants will receive free coupons to use on their next visit to Wegman’s Nursery.

These are just two of the many free programs for children, adults, and families offered by the Redwood City Public Library - the learning center of our community. For more information about library events and services visit the library’s web page at www.redwoodcity.org/library or call 780-7026.
