Have littles? Looking for a low-key, learning outing? Join us on Tuesdays @ 6 pm (a new time!) and/or Wednesdays @ 10 am for our regular Pre-k Storytime! These sessions include read-aloud stories, songs/movement, and a super-simple craft. If you want, plan to stay after the Wednesday Storytime for some Stay-and-Play time with LEGOs and DUPLOs. Storytimes are geared toward pre-k kiddos, but children of all ages are welcome. No registration required!

Join us for a new knitting series for adults called Knit Happens here at NKCPL! Very, very beginners are welcome--as are returning (or even advanced) knitters. Instructor Monja Calvert will show new knitters how to create a scarf (and experienced knitters are welcome to join and knit along!). Find and register for February class dates here--we'll send you a welcome packet and supplies list when you sign up. Hope to see you at a knitting class soon!

Sewing Studio: Make an Eclipse Quilt Block

Thurs, Feb 22 from 6-9 pm

Have you taken one of our Intro to the Sewing Machine classes yet? If so, join us for this fun project class, and learn to make an eclipse quilt block! 

Please bring some yellow, white, and blue fabric, and any stars/sun/solar fat quarter or 1/4-yard fabric. The plan is to finish the eclipse block at this session and perhaps expand this project to make a larger quilt or quilted bag in future classes. 

**Participants must attend an Intro to the Sewing Machine class (see above for our February Intro class dates) in order to register for this project-based class.**

This class is for adult sewists only. With instructor Patty Ibarra. 

Have questions? Let us know!

And don't forget! The Library offers a variety of additional classes for adults, too! For a full/current lineup of these programs--which include crafting sessions, sewing opportunities, weekly yoga options (both mat and chair, offered via Zoom), a monthly Medicare class, and more--and to register, go to nkcpl.org.
