Grand Meander

5:00 to 8:00 PM, Monday, December 1st.

December Adult Programming




Take a break from the holidays and stop by the library for some wonderful programs and hot cocoa! That’s right; we will be offering a hot cocoa bar during the Grand Meander. So stop by and fix yourself something warm and sweet to drink.
DIY Club is back and we have a great project planned – Thumbprint Christmas Ornaments. These ornaments are really adorable and all it takes is a thumb, some paint, and a sharpie.
Our food loving director is putting on another Simply Delicious food course for December- a Cookie Exchange. So, bring a cookie (with the recipe) to share and a container to put your cookies in. Mandie will make two cookies of her own for everyone to bring home.
We will be showing Maleficent starring Angelina Jolie for our December Adult Movie. A vengeful fairy is driven to curse an infant princess, only to discover that the child may be the one person who can restore peace to their troubled land.
In December, the Book Into Movie Club will be watching The Heart is a Lonely Hunter starring Alan Arkin. This is a heart wrenching story about a deaf mute man in 1930’s Georgia.  All are welcome to watch the movie (even if you didn’t read the book). Our next Book Into Movie is Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.  After a harsh childhood, orphan Jane Eyre is hired by Edward Rochester, the brooding lord of a mysterious manor house to care for his young daughter.
Have a safe and happy Holiday Season!
