Library celebrates Mother's Day

Keith Bryant/The Weekly Vista Kitty Casanova, left, works with Tom Wooters to fill flowerpots decorated during the library's Blossoms and Bows event. Casanova said that she started this event roughly seven years ago in part to find a use for leftover flowers after the spring plant sale. The event has taken off, she said, and has become a nice, no-cost chance for parents, particularly fathers, to spend time with their children. "It's just hard to get dads and kids out and this does that," Casanova said.
