Interactive Movie Night!
Wednesday, February 28th at 5:00 PM

Come to the Youth Room to watch the movie Encanto, with interactive fun, & enjoy some snacks!

What's an interactive movie, you ask? As you watch the movie, we will have hand-motions & activities to do at different parts of the movie or when different characters come on screen. Can you do them all?

 

Yarn Group is held each Friday at 1:00 p.m. Bring your latest knitting, crochet, or other yarn-based project and work on it in the company of other crafters. Don't know how to knit or crochet? We have members who are happy to teach you.

Book Review Circle meets the third Thursday of the month at 10:00 a.m. Everyone reads different books and shares about them. New members are invited to attend and discuss their latest read. Be warned you may discover more books you want to read!

Family Storytime:  Families are invited to join us each Tuesday morning at 10 a.m. for children’s stories, songs, and crafts.

Loom Knitting for Youth: Youth ages 7 and older can learn and share loom knitting projects on the third Wednesday of each month at 6 p.m. in the Youth Room.
