It’s faerie house time at Kennebunk Free Library. Participants are encouraged to build a faerie house to welcome the faeries back to the garden at the library. Faerie houses will be accepted at the library from April 21-29.

According to a news release, participants should build a house with a base no larger than 14 inches by 14 inches, and no taller than 30 inches and use natural materials only. There will be a selection of natural materials available in the library starting April 1.

All faerie houses submitted to the library by April 29 will receive a certificate from the Seacoast Garden Club. The certificates will be given at the Faerie Festival, scheduled for 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. on May 3.

Faerie houses will be on display at the library through May 10. May 10 is the last day to pick up faerie houses. Those who prefer to keep their faerie house at home, can take a photo and send it to ys@kennebunklibrary.org by April 29. The library will share the photos on its social media and participants will receive a title and certificate from the Seacoast Garden Club.

· April 1: First day to pick up natural materials at the library.
