Well, it’s been a bit of a quiet winter, here at Lynn Murray Memorial Library. We were closed so many days, because Hancock County Schools were closed, and it’s our Winter Policy to follow the school for closing and delays. But, the time away from the library, gave me a lot of time to work from home and prepare for a fun-filled Spring and Summer for y’all.
So what’s on the horizon at Lynn Murray Memorial Library? Well…get your calendars out and get ready to fill ‘em up.
Storytime is now back in session at the library. We always hold our Winter Session, virtually, because of the weather and sickness. And, boy did we see a lot of both this winter. The kiddos came back to a Dr Seuss Party, complete with party hats, stories, crafts and fun, and maybe some milk and cookies. If you have kiddos, from birth to 5 years ols, please call to register for our Storytime. We meet every Wednesday, except March 19, from 10:30-11 for birth – 2, and from 11:30-12:30 for 2-5 yr olds.
Card Making Class is back, on the second Tuesday of the month, beginning in March. We meet from 10:30-12:30. Each class is $5/person, and all materials for the class are provided.
PLARN class resumes on the second Thursday of each month, from 4-6, beginning again in March. Come on out and support our deployed soldiers, by cutting and making PLARN, or crocheting mats.
Quilting is ongoing, every Thursday from 4-6. We will be extending our Quilting hours to noon-6, beginning in June. If you already know how to quilt, or if you wanna learn, we have a great group of people who are willing to teach ya. If you don’t have a sewing machine, don’t worry. We have 4 machines that have been donated to the library for your use.
