All participants MUST bring a skein of yarn and a G or H crochet hook. We will start by learning a scarf and go from there.
Friday Jan. 17 will be our next NERF Battle Night from 8:30pm-11:00pm. Bring your own Nerf equipment (darts too–please label them) and join us for open play around the library. See if the library stacks provide you enough shelter from getting hit by a friend’s foam dart. Open to ages 7 and up; so adults are welcome too. Everyone must bring a snack and drink. We only have 14 spaces so sign up starting Jan. 2.
Tuesday Jan. 21 will be Snowmageddon for Homeschoolers at 1:30pm. Come and learn how to make snow cream (ice cream with snow), origami snowflakes, icicles with chemistry, make a Rice Krispy treat snowman and more. Dress for going outside too as we will make snow creatures and paint them too. (And we heard there may be an indoor snowball fight.) If you would like to have your homeschool family create something to do for this event please email the Library Manager at: mrounds@midyork.org.
