(Limited to 20 - Registration required) - Rain barrels collect free rainwater to water gardens, trees, and lawns. In "Station Eleven," water collection was a necessity. But, it can also help save you money on water bills, reduce your water footprint, and help recharge our rivers, lakes, and aquifers. Workshop participants will learn about the benefits of rain barrels, how to install and use them, and even get a free rain barrel to take home and use. This workshop is limited to 20 participants. Registration is required. "NEA Big Read: Stillwater" is the Stillwater Public Library's tenth community-wide reading series. The series takes place Oct. 2-Nov. 11. Survival and resilience will be explored through the books "Station Eleven" by Emily St. John Mandel and the "NEA Little Read" title "Blackout" by John Rocco. The shared community reading experience highlights the important message that mere survival is insufficient. Arts, reading, and community ties make survival worthwhile. NEA Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest.
