Teen Care for Shelter Animals
Spend your Friday afternoon off making some easy projects to comfort and amuse shelter animals. From noon to 2:30 p.m., Jan. 25, we’ll order pizza for lunch, or you can bring your own.

Cloud storage basics
Want to get a handle on the nebulous “cloud?” Choose the morning or evening class, and we will demystify the cloud and look at its advantages and disadvantages.
Then we will spend time saving and managing files in the cloud and accessing them over the internet. Participants can bring their own devices, or use one of the library’s laptops. Please register for either session: 10:30 a.m., Monday, Jan. 28, or 6 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 29.

Join the Nimblefingers at their Open House at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 12, for an afternoon of demonstrations, refreshments, and friendship. View antique quilts during a bed-turning and vote for your favorite entry in the design challenge.
Throughout the month, visitors to the library can enjoy the Nimblefingers exhibit of distinctive handcrafts and quilts in our Community Room. Since programs are also held in the Community Room, check the calendar to plan your visit.
