Our February Master Gardener’s program will be all about Victory Gardens presented by Loretta Craig on Tuesday, February 5 at 4PM. Victory gardens, also called war gardens or food gardens for defense, were vegetable, fruit, and herb gardens planted at private residences and public parks in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Germany during World War I and World War II. She will talk about the history of Victory Gardens during the wars and why we should do a Vegetable Garden today.
Our monthly Lego Club is back on February 6th! Join us on the first Wednesday of each month at 4pm to have fun with friends. We have the Legos, idea books, and the space. Legos are a wonderful way to excite children about problem solving and innovative thinking.
We are adding a few new monthly Saturday programs for families and children. On Saturday, February 9th at 10:30am we will host our first Family Storytime geared towards preschoolers. Join Miss Debbie as we have fun learning about Valentine’s Day, create mailboxes to receive special Valentine’s Day cards, and sing some songs.
Our new Toddler Time is starting up on February 16th at 10:30am. It is a fun program for babies up to 3-years with the same rhymes and stories you love with added sensory activities. Miss Emily has some squishy fun planned. One of the best ways for children to learn is by watching the grownups around them, so grownups are highly encouraged to fully participate with their child. Keep up to date with the new programs by visiting our website, www.lansingkslibrary.org.
We will be hosting Cote Smith, author of the new novel, Limetime. It is the prequel to the #1 podcast about a teenager who learns of a mysterious research facility where over three hundred people have disappeared—including her uncle—with clues that become the key to discovering the secrets of this strange town. See the trailer here.
Our next Paint & Sip Fundraiser is scheduled for Friday, March 8th. Doors open at 6pm and painting begins at 6:30pm. The Friends of the Library hold these fundraisers to help support the Reading Program events and prizes, Kids Create, and other special events throughout the year. We hope you will join in the fun as we create a fun painting (see below). The Friends will provide snacks for the evening and you can BYOB. Tickets are available online here or by clicking on the picture below.
Finally, the Library Advisory Board wants to hear from you! Have ideas, suggestions for programming or the collection? Want to share your comments? They are hosting a Question & Answer session at the library on Tuesday, February 26th from 5pm to 6:30pm. We hope you can join us as we continue to plan for the future.
