Sara Billiet joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about upcoming events at the Kewanee Public Library. Don't miss "Story Time" with Sara on the Kewanee Public Library Facebook page every Tuesday at 1 PM. The Kewanee Public Library Information Services Department invites adults to a friendly and exciting puzzle exchange event. Scheduled for January 30th, between 2 pm and 4 pm, this event will take place in the 2nd Floor Community Room. Participants are encouraged to bring puzzles that are gently used to swap them for others.
Elementary students, it’s time to get crafty for Valentine’s Day! From February 5th to 7th at 3:30 PM, and again on February 8th, young crafters can learn to create hidden messages for friends and family. Meanwhile, on February 6th at 4 PM, the DIY Heart Hand-Warmer Craft will warm up winter hands with a fun sewing project. Book lovers in 4th-6th grades are wrapping up Where the Red Fern Grows with the Chapter Chasers Book Club on February 4th and 6th from 4 to 5 PM, and homeschooling families can bubble with excitement on February 6th at 2 PM with a bubblegum-making session. For tweens, coding returns on February 12th at 3:30 PM with instructor Andrew Mansheim. Youth aged 9 to 12 years old are invited to register in the 2nd Floor Youth Department or by calling 309-852-4505. Space will be limited.
Adults don’t miss the Lessons in Chemistry book club on February 17th at 2 PM and 6 PM and join us on February 22nd at 2 PM for a fascinating presentation on the real Laura Ingalls Wilder. Librarian Laura F. Keyes will be portraying Laura Ingalls Wilder. Ms. Keyes has been portraying historic women and lecturing on historic topics since 2008. (Due to the seriousness of the subject matter, this program is most appropriate for ages 10 and older).
