Think SPRING!

TERRARIUM WORKSHOP: Join us as we bring SPRING indoors early by learning how to make a terrarium with one of our favorite talented teachers, Felicia Motherway.  You will be pleased with your mobile garden by the end of the evening.  This workshop is being offered on Thursday, March 26^th from 6:00 to 8:00 PM.

A terrarium is a miniature garden under glass that is fun and easy to grow. Create your garden with easy-care plants, moss, gemstones, shells and tiny woodland creatures. The workshop includes all supplies: Large glass container, plants, and supplies. There is a materials fee of $30.00 (cash or check) due upon registration.

Please call for more information at 603-362-5234.  Registration is not taken over the phone.  All those interested must register at the main circulation desk during regular library hours. *Registration is non-refundable and is due at time of registration. Cash or checks should be made out to Felicia Motherway.  Sign up soon as class size is limited. 

LIBRARY BUDDIES: “Library Buddies” is one of the events that has been bursting at the seams even when we were in the ‘old’ building!  We are proud to be the trend setters of this in the area. This crowd-pleasing event will be happening for 7 consecutive weeks on Thursdays from 3:30-4:30pm beginning March 12th and ending on April 23rd. Each week teens (youth in grades 6-12) will be assigned to little buddies (kindergarten age through grade 3).  Library buddies will read or be read to for the first 30 minutes followed by STEM challenges, puzzles, games, and/or coloring activities.  This is a great opportunity for the younger set to practice listening to books of their choice or for emerging readers to try out their skills on an older buddy.

Need a buddy?  Want to be a buddy? You may register your little buddy online on the children’s calendar, call us and ask for the Children’s Room (603) 362-5234 x224, or drop in and personally speak to Kathy Watson, Youth Services Director.  All interested big buddies must speak with Kathy directly and be committed to an early arrival time (3:15 PM). 

Due to the high demand for this program, all little buddies must be registered and committed for all seven weeks. New this year is the start time enabling us you to allow your child to take the bus directly from school.  Waivers must be signed for children under 10 before they are allowed to participate this way.  The library does not take responsibility for the transportation—you must make arrangements in advance with pick-up patrol and the bus company.  Parents DO say they love that their children can come here on their own and they just have to pick them up.  Check this service out!

LET’S COOK TONIGHT: Tweens in grades 3-7 can don their chef hats and cook up some Chinese food with Chef Birr!  This month this popular class will take place on Thursday, March 26, 2020 from 6:00 to 7:15 PM. Come with a positive ‘I can’ attitude and come hungry!  Registration is required for supplies.  Please do so no later than 3/25/2020.

UPCOMING TUESDAY MOVIES: Join us at 1:00 PM on 3/3 ‘Parasite’, 3/10 ‘Harriet’, 3/17 ‘Richard Jewell’, 3/24 ‘1917’, and on 3/31 for ‘Midway’.  Movies are subject to change.  Check the website for the latest information.  Popcorn will be served.  Seating is first come, first served.  Please plan accordingly.
