Join us in our project to cover the Hill neighborhood with sunflowers this summer.
Wilson branch library will be giving away sunflower plants and seeds for the neighborhood. Not only do sunflowers bring beauty and joy, they also pull toxic metals, like lead, from the soil, making the environment safer for all of us. Wilson branch patrons & Common Ground School will be working together all summer planting flowers.
AGE GROUP: | Teens (13-17) | Family and Children (6-12) | Adults (18+) |

The Courtland S. Wilson Library opened in 2006. With the largest footprint among the NHFPL branches, Wilson is a beacon of opportunity and life-long learning in the Hill neighboorhood. Wilson supports literacy with monthly bulk book delivery to school teachers. A youth Lego club, and a newly formed tween and teen computer group meet weekly; and launching in 2019, a youth Girls Who Code Club. Many community groups convene in Wilson’s seven meeting rooms. The Computer Lab hosts groups and offers computer instruction including digital literacy classes in Spanish and weekly free tax preparation during tax season.
