WESTFIELD — The Patterson Library in Westfield will host several March events for children and teens.

Through March 17, children ages 12 and under can turn in their best “leprechaun traps” for a gift basket prize. Submissions must be no larger than a gallon of milk and are due by closing time on Tuesday, March 15. Library supplies will be available for use. Submissions will be on display at the library for patrons to view.
