Stitch 'n' Giggle Club

 Kids in grade four and up are invited to join us for a monthly meeting of our new “Stitch ‘n’ Giggle Club!” on Wednesday, Dec. 3, at 4 p.m.

Staff members will be available to help you with your knitting or crocheting project. Don’t know how to knit or crochet? No problem, we will help you learn.

Bring size 8 knitting needles or an 8mm (size L) crochet hook, and we’ll get you started. GPL will provide the yarn. Feel free to bring your own after-school snack, too.

Please call 456-2400, ext. 4 to register.

Li'l LEGO Club

 GPL’s Li’l Lego Club for children in kindergarten through grade two is back and really snapping together. The next session is on Thursday, Dec. 4 at 3:30 p.m.

We will meet in the story hour room and use our imagination for some creative play with friends. Bring your own bricks or create with ours. As usual, creations that you bring to show off will be kept separate from the library supplies.

Give us a call at 456-2400, ext. 4 so that we can make sure we have enough LEGOs for all.
