It’s time for the faeries to return to Maine. Build a faerie house to welcome them back. Faeries love the outside, so Kennebunk Free Library encourages the use of natural materials when building a house.

Materials such as bark, sticks, leaves and stones. Starting April 5, participants can pick up a grab-and-go bag with some faerie house building materials to get started while supplies last.
After building a faerie house, participants are encouraged to take photos. Send the library at least three pictures of the faerie house from different angles and give the house a name. The Seacoast Garden Club will give each house a title, and the library will create certificates.
With permission, the library will also post the photos on its social media pages for everyone to see. Send information to ys@kennebunk.lib.me.us. Participants can send pictures anytime in April, but to receive a certificate, the photos should be sent by April 27.
