The Swanton Library is proud to announce our second annual Easter Egg Hunt! After a large response from the community last year, the library has invested more into this year’s egg hunt, with a whopping 1,000+ eggs filled with candy.  As an added bonus, five special eggs will each contain a golden ticket.  The lucky persons who find a golden ticket will be awarded a special prize. Join in the fun at Pilliod Park (next to the library) on Thursday, March 29 at 4:00 pm. We will also premier the newest StoryWalk book for the Hunt, with new fasteners to hold the pages.

The Pilliod Park StoryWalk® was initiated to great success with roughly 150 visitors to the Swanton Chamber of Commerce Ribbon Cutting and Easter Egg Hunt kickoff during National Library Week. Candy-filled plastic eggs and gummy worms were available to attendees and media coverage included local newspapers and NBC Channel 24. Swanton Village Council also made a proclamation in recognition and support of National Library Week during their regular meeting of the same week.
