The littles had a grand time.
Thank you to their grownups for bringing them and participating.
Did we make a bit of a mess? Yes we did.
Yes, that is rice on the floor. It's ok. easy cleanup.
Peep those super cute and happy little faces having a good time!
Thank you to Kansas Works for being my special guest this month.

TALKING ABOUT DEATH to live more fully is the motto of Death Cafe, a new monthly discussion group at the library. Fifteen attended the second one Thursday night; watch the calendar for the Dec. date. The meetings are a safe, comfortable place to listen, connect, reflect and share a laugh or two--over coffee, tea and treats.

GO CREATIVE WITH CROCHET. In Stitches, a crochet group hosted by Jen Tarter, gathers in the meeting room Mondays at 6:00. All skill levels are welcome. Crafters pick their own projects. Over a period of months, and just for fun, Barbara crocheted this giant octopus. Each of its tentacles has 60 orange suckers.

LYDIA, A REGULAR AT MON. NIGHT CROCHET, donated this set of winter warmers to the handcrafted items at the counter. Someone with a Christmas list snapped it right up, but we hear there's more to come. The crafts are offered for a free-will donation, with proceeds benefitting adult and children's programming.
