February Events

Winter Wednesdays
Wednesday, February 3rd from 11:00 am – 8:00 pm
Wednesday, February 10th from 11:00 am – 8:00 pm

It is time for the 7th annual Winter Wednesdays at the Brockway library!

Started in 2004 as a fund raiser following state wide funding cuts, it has continued as a popular mid-winter event. Members of the Friends of the Library prepare homemade soups and desserts for patrons’ enjoyment for dining “in” or for “carry out.” In addition, the sale of quality used books is featured. The Friends’ goal is to promote library awareness and raise funds in an entertaining and community based style.

Surprise Saturday
Saturday, February 13th from 11:00am – 1: 00pm

Featuring author Jan Sady and her book “Mr. Bernie’s Most Favorite Place.” Kids will also enjoy face painting, coloring, and a visit by Tigger.

Legos in the Library
Thursday, February 25, 2010 from 6:00 – 7:30 pm.

Legos in the Library is a new monthly where children and their parents use Legos to build different objects. Every month the program features a different theme. The theme for February will be “boats.”

Do you have Legos you no longer play with? The library is still collecting Legos of all sizes.

This program will be for children ages 3 to 12 and their parents.

The programs will teach children: Creative Problem Solving, Concentration & Perseverance, Designing, Planning & Organizing, Teamwork, Communication, and Independent Thinking
