Greetings from the Great Bend Public Library! Don’t forget we have our all-ages weekend event, Cozy Crafts, Saturday at 11 am. Each participant will be able to make a fun Boho Wall Art piece to brighten up their space.
March is already here, and that means we are offering a new Spice of the Month. Come and get your pre-measured amount of paprika, along with a recipe to try and some interesting information about the spice.
For the kiddies this week we will start off the week with a visit from our new friend Robby Wilcox. This time he will be here to teach children grades 4-6 how programming works. They will learn programming through physical means, make a video game, and learn Minecraft programming. If you have a tech-savvy youngster, be sure to bring them to the library on Monday, March 6 at 5:30 p.m.
Tuesday we will not only have Story Time as usual starting at 10:30 a.m., but we will also have You Day Tuesday with Shanna Long from the Center for Counseling at 3:30 p.m. She will teach us how to work on self-regulation, calming, relaxing, and mindfulness skills while utilizing games, crafts, and more.
Alongside our usual all-ages events, such as Tech Tuesday at 11 a.m. and Crochet club on Thursday at 4 p.m., we also have a special Genealogy Corner happening on Tuesday at 6 p.m. This installment will focus on HeritageQuest, a free program available through the Kansas State Library. We will take an in-depth look at the program and learn how to use it to conduct genealogy research.
Last but not least, our next adult craft is this coming Thursday, March 9, at 6 p.m. This time we will be making Cork Succulents. A reminder, this is an after-hours event, so remember to be here before 6:15 when we lock the north doors for the duration of the class.
To see what else we’re up to at the library, visit our Facebook page and our website, greatbendpl.info. You can also message us on Facebook, email us at gbcirc@gmail.com, or give us a call at 620-792-2409 for any questions about our programming or services.
