A landscape overhaul wrapped up earlier this month at the Northampton Area Public Library. The project was spearheaded and executed by Appalachian Creations Inc. of Northampton who not only donated the new landscape materials but also donated their time and expertise to the project. The focus of the refurbishment project is to make the outside of the library as beautiful as the inside by installing updated low-maintenance landscape pieces. Appalachian Creations Inc. owner Jenn Stumer said they achieved this goal by laying down small rocks instead of mulch around the new greenery to help with irrigation and keep the landscape looking fresh and clean.
