The Friends hosted Matt, Jennifer, and Corbin Bouvy , from Abele's Greenhouse and Garden Center, in the Frankenmuth Credit Union Community Room on April 28, 2026. Friends President Kathleen Bauer welcomed all those in attendance and shared some background on the Friends group. Wickson District Library Assistant Director Jennifer Harden also shared information about the Summer Reading Program and the current variety of programs being offered at the Library. Matt and Corbin then entertained the crowd of over 150 with their witty repartee about new annuals, perennials, and shrubs that are being offered for the 2026 growing season. Their presentation was followed by a question and answer period. In addition to offering a gift certificate for a free plant to each person present, they also generously donated a variety of plants which were raffled off to the audience. Although the event was free to the public, people were encouraged to bring donations to the I Support the 1% pantry.

Thank you to the Friends of the Frankenmuth Wickson District Library for recognizing the READ mentors who volunteer there.

The Friends purchased a book for the library to recognize each mentor, complete with their names on the cover💜📖

Our mentors are special. They take time out of their weeks to share the joy of reading and change lives through the power of literacy.

We appreciate them and the Friends of the Library for acknowledging their impact on the youth of Frankenmuth.
