The Stettler Public Library has something planned for each week in March.
I can’t believe that I am typing March already. Wasn’t I just typing Jan. 1 just a couple of days ago?
Anyways, back on topic, we have some excellent programs for the month of March and so much is happening, I guess that I should get started.
Elaine has a couple of special crafts planned for Thursday, the first day of the teachers’ convention — and school holiday. Join her at 10:30 a.m. for a chance for kids to try Embroidery: Creative with Fabric and Thread. She then continues on in the creative vein when kids can try their hand at String Art at 1 p.m.
Both of those programs run for two hours, so why not pack a lunch and make a day of it.
On Saturday, from 1 to 3 p.m., celebrate National Picnic Day at the Stettler Public Library. Bring a blanket and snacks to our indoor picnic and enjoy the movie “Wreck-It Ralph.” We will provide the ants.
Next Tuesday marks the next installments of two of the library’s most-popular programs: Spine Crackers Teen Book Club and Chicks with Sticks. Members of Spine Crackers will meet at 6 p.m. and discuss the book “Framed” by Frank Cottrell Boyce. Then bring your crafts and join Chicks with Sticks at 7 p.m. There will be help for your projects and it’s a great night of conversation.
We’re inviting all children ages 3 and 4 to our Fancy Nancy Tea Party on Friday, March 22 from 6 to 7 p.m. The library is having a tea party because being fancy is fun! Call 403-742-2292 to register and call soon, because space is limited.
We have our schedule for March break in store, so here it goes! If animals are your thing — join us for Animals of Canada on Saturday, March 23, from 1 to 3 p.m. There will be games, crafts, books and fun! Just watch out for the wild creatures hiding in the stacks.
If animals are not your thing, but you like things a little on the grosser side, then Grossology Day is just for you. Join us on Tuesday, March 16, at 1 p.m. for two and a half hours of the slimiest, squirmiest, grossest things ever found in a library. This is going to be so much fun.
Space, the final frontier! These are the voyages of the starship Stettler Public Library. Its mission is to bring Space Day to the masses on Wednesday, March 27, from 1 to 3 p.m. Moons, stars, rockets, planets! What a great way to spend the afternoon.
Thursday, March 28, has an afternoon full of great crafts from 1 to 3 p.m., using egg cartons and printables. Let your creativity loose as you explore what you can do with egg cartons and paper!
Eggs are so versatile. You can colour them, smash and bash them, squish them, decorate them with glitter and paint and you can eat them. Join us for Egg Day on Saturday, March 30, at 1 p.m., as you get a chance to try all of those things with eggs.
Check out our website for proposed plans of the library’s expansion. We hope that you become as excited as we are.
