January Family Reading Program -

PAWS to Read

The January Family Reading Program will benefit the shelter animals of our community. Come to the Children's Room and pick up a family reading log. For every hour your family reads, each child will receive a sticker to put on your family's "Paw Print." For each hour read, your family will also have the opportunity to bring in a donation for the animal shelter.

Knitting/Crocheting Classes

On Thursdays in January from 6-8 PM, there will be knitting needles clicking, crochet hooks flashing, and lots of sharing.

Whether you're a beginner or an "old pro," you're invited to add to your knowledge of yarn art. If you're a newbie, please bring size 10 knitting needles or size J crochet hook and 4 ply yarn of your choice. No registration required.
