February at the Library!
Here is a list of what is going on this February at your Library

Thursday February 11th 2:15 to 3 p.m.- Valentine Making: Come make a Valentine for that special someone! (Or for Grandma, your neighbor, or the family pet.)

*Tuesday February 16th 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.- Beading:This activity was so popular in December that we're back for more. Make earrings, a necklace, a bracelet, or an anklet, and take it home with you when you're finished.

*Tuesday February 16th 2:00 to 3:00 p.m.- Making Butter: Come learn how your ancestors made butter on the farm before the days of Land o' Lakes. Each person will get to make their own butter to take home with them.

*Thursday February 18th 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.-Story Time: Story time will take place as usual at 10:30 a.m., but will be followed by a seed-planting activity inspired by the story.

*Thursday February 18th 2:00 to 3:00 p.m.-Seed Planting: A chance for the slightly older set to come in and do some seed planting of their own. We'll focus on plants that need a little longer incubation time indoors, and everyone will get to take their plantings home with them.

Friday February 19th 2:00 to 3:00 p.m.-Origami: Back by popular demand, we'll hone our paper-folding skills and create objects and animals before your eyes!

Friday February 26th at 7:00 p.m.-Family Night: Bring the whole family down for this one! We'll have a pajama party downstairs for the kids, an adult program upstairs, and snacks for everyone! Look for postings at the library as we get closer to the event.

Saturday February 27th 11:00a.m. to 2:00p.m-Books for Babies & Our FINAL Book Sale!:We'll kick off both events at 11:00 a.m., with the book sale downstairs and Books for Babies upstairs. All you baby parents, bring your little one in and pick up a free gift bag to help you raise a reader from the very start.
