Library Programs in Fall Swing

The Grant County Public Library invites you to tea and a host of fall programs. Several also extend through the end of the year.

Afternoon tea with Downton Abbey continues on Wednesday afternoons at 12:30 p.m. Dates for October include: October 12, October 19, and October 26. “Two episodes are shown and royal refreshments served,” said GCPL Director Jody Carlson. “No registration is required. All are welcome to attend.”

Reading Adventures for children up to six years old, takes place on Wednesday, October 19, November 16, and December 21. Each program begins at 10 a.m. Children make a craft and enjoy storytime. No registration is needed.

Who says crayons are just for kids? Adult Coloring is the first and third Wednesday of each month from October through April. Upcoming dates include October 19, November 2, November 16, December 7, and December 21. Sessions are held from 5:30 to 7 p.m. “An estimated 12 million adult coloring books were sold in the United States in 2015,” said Carlson. Coloring has become popular for its therapeutic benefits – reducing anxiety, creating focus, and bringing about mindfulness.

Tech Tuesdays are the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month by appointment only. Dates include: October 25, November 15 and November 29, and December 13 and December 27. Call the library at 432-6543 to make an appointment.
