Major support for Lincoln Center Local: Free Screenings is provided by the Oak Foundation. Additional support is provided by the Booth Ferris Foundation and the Altman Foundation.
Mason Jar Mixers
Make sure to leave yourself plenty of time for this program, as you will probably want to make more than one. On Sunday, Feb. 12, from 2 to 4 p.m., you can create a mason jar edible gift. Choose from hot cocoa mix, cookie mix, or a hearty soup mix. Once you have the technique down, making these at home will be a snap.
Adult coloring book club
On Wednesday, Feb. 15, from 6 to 8 p.m., we will provide a quiet, relaxing atmosphere for you to enjoy some me time. We have a large selection of coloring supplies, some relaxing music and different coloring sheets for you to choose from.
Pajama Twilight Tales
We’re holding a special storytime for our youngest readers ages 18 months to 5 years to celebrate your family’s progress toward reading 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten! On Friday, Feb. 17, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., put on your pajamas and join us at the library. Bring along your favorite bedtime friend (stuffed animal or doll) and join us for snuggle time stories, quiet songs, a bedtime snack, and sleepy time fun. The library will be closed except for the children and their families.
Annual open house
February is Nimblefingers month at the library. Whether you do crafts yourself or just have an appreciation for textile arts, come for an afternoon of fun and friendship on Feb. 21, from 1 to 3 pm. for the annual open house and quilt show. Even if you can’t come for the afternoon, be sure to drop in at some point during February to stroll through the gallery and community room to enjoy the wonderful crafts these ladies have displayed for your pleasure.
