The Old Forge Library, 220 Crosby Blvd., will host an Easter Egg Dyeing and Decorating Get-Together on  Thursday, April 6 at 5 p.m. Anybody who feels festive is invited to  drop by and color eggs. The event is family friendly, senior friendly and just plain friendly! Everything is more fun when the time is shared with friends and neighbors.

The library invites everyone to leave the mess, the vinegar, the paper towels and the hassle to library staff. The library will provide a wide variety of colors of egg dye, crayons, markers. glitter glue and stickers for making each egg special. Participants should supply their own hard boiled eggs, and something to carry them home in. Participants can bring any ideas or finds off the internet for making interesting eggs, and we can experiment.
