Ostereierbaum: Easter Egg Tree

Join us as we decorate egg ornaments!

Ostereierbaum (pronounced OH-stehr-eye-er-bawm) is the German tradition of decorating trees and bushes with eggs for Easter. A tradition which was celebrated during the early years of the Richland Public Library and one that will be recreated for our 75th Anniversary.

The library's egg tree will be located in the Richland Room by the From Chapter One: The Story of the Richland Public Library historic exhibit.

You may add your ornaments to our egg tree or take them home for your own ostereierbaum.
