Summer Reading starts this month! Join us May 28 for a Sidewalk Chalk Kickoff event! |
|
Hard to believe, but summer--and the Library's annual Summer Reading Program--are just around the corner! While SRP is for readers of ALL ages, we like to kick off the children's-side reading program in extra-special summertime style. :)
Join us on Saturday, May 28, at 11 a.m. here at the Library, where we'll chalk the front walk and gear up for a summer of reading fun. You can learn about this year's offerings, register to get started, chalk the Library's sidewalk (of course!), and pick out a few good reads to get you going on your reading journey.
This year's SRP theme? Oceans of Possibility. Readers of all ages can register on or after May 28 for a chance to earn cool rewards and win fun prizes. Go to nkcpl.org for details!

Come stitch with us at Common Threads! |
|
Come sew with us! The Library is now offering hands-on sewing classes via our in-house sewing lab (called Common Threads), which is located on the building's lower level.
We're thrilled to reopen this space, and we're excited to welcome back instructor Patty Ibarra, who taught tons of fun and creative sewing classes here at the Library, pre-pandemic.
Each month, we'll offer an Intro to the Machine class for beginners--or anyone who wants to brush up on their sewing machine skills. We'll also offer a project class, which will vary from month to month. The project class will be tailored to advanced beginners, or folks who've sewn at least a little bit before, and will be able to use the machine mostly on their own (once pointed in the right direction, of course!). This month's project class: A fabric and batting-covered wooden ironing block/pressing square on Tues, May 17 @ 10 am.
Questions about these classes? Or want to share a preference about class topics or times? Email abrown@nkcpl.org.
Go to nkcpl.org for class dates and details, and to sign up for a session or two. Hope to see you in the studio soon!
