Friday, December 28
1:00 to 5:00 PM
Christmas is over. You got caught up on all the dish washing. You made the returns and exchanges. Now it’s time for some low key relaxation. We’ll have a stop by or hang out all day event on Friday without pressure or expectations. We’ll have table dedicated to anyone who would like to just sit and visit and work on a stitching project or perhaps color. We’ll have a table with a jigsaw puzzle. Maybe two, one for the big people and one for the smaller folk. We’ll have a table with book art folding supplies. We’ll have a table with simple journals that you can take as is or add a few embellishments. We might have some mellow munchies. Nothing fancy. Nothing extravagant. Just a pleasant afternoon’s worth of possibilities. Hope you’ll come by.
For all ages!

Attention Tweens! Become a SUPER-SONIC reader this year!
Join us at the kick-off meeting for the Books for Boys Book Club and the Mother Daughter Book Club on Thursday, September 13, 2018 @ 6:30 p.m. where you will receive your official super-sonic lanyard, as well as all the instructions you’ll need to play online!
You can win prizes and pins for your lanyard by earning book points for every book club book you read and by completing three extra challenges that match it.
Those three challenges are:
- Write and submit a book review.
- Attend the Book Club meeting for that book.
- Complete the FUN activity that matches the book for that month.
Also as an added bonus, you can earn another book point if your parent/guardian reads the book, too!
If you read all the books and earn at least 28 book points, you are eligible to become a super-sonic reader and will receive a special prize at our final Tween Book Club meeting on May 9, 2019! So let’s take off, start reading, and have a blast!
