There’s no school on Friday, October 25 so stop by our Drop-In Block Party from 10:30 to 11:30am. We’ll have our Legos, Duplos, and plain old wooden blocks in the meeting room. Open to children of all ages.

The next session in our Nutrition & Wellness series with Mary Liz Wright is Hearty Soups on October 23, 1:30pm. Nothing welcomes you like the smell of a delicious soup in the slow cooker. You will leave with recipes, techniques, even quick soups to satisfy even picky eaters on a cold evening. Please call 463-3950 or message the library to sign up so Mary Liz will know how many handouts to prepare.

Make your own beautiful Christmas cards at a special Saturday papercrafting workshop on October 26, from 10:30am to 3pm. Call 217-463-3950, email, or stop in at the library to sign up by Oct. 18. Supplies fee is due at that time.

The $30 supplies fee covers everything for 20 cards, except adhesive; bring your own double-sided tape or scrapbook glue. You’re also welcome to bring your lunch or a snack.
