The library will be having craft night on Monday, Feb. 7, from 5:30 until 7:00 p.m. We have had quite a few requests for book folding by people who have not been able to make it to our previous book folding classes. Since February is the month for Valentine’s Day we will fold the books into a heart shape. Everyone is invited to join us. The library will furnish the books, the patterns and the pencils. You will just need to bring a ruler with centimeters and a bone folder. We have something that will work for a bone folder if you don’t have one.
