Nappanee Public Library news and events this week:
Quilt Guild
The Nappanee Quilt Guild, a club for those interested in new quilting techniques, meets on the second Thursday of each month at the Nappanee Public Library. Members will meet at the library next from 6:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. Thursday, August 13. Membership for the “Artful Quilters” is open to anyone. Join the fun and fellowship with other quilters while keeping up to date with new activities and techniques in the quilting world. Bring your own projects to share, check out planned programs for the coming year, and sign up for trips.
Oral History Program at Heritage House
Nappanee residents and visitors alike are invited to attend the last session of the summer’s coffee break programs from 10 a.m. until noon Thursday, Aug. 13. This monthly program was recently created by staff of the Evelyn Lehman Culp Heritage Collection. Participants will meet at Heritage House to enjoy a casual time of conversation and reminiscing about memories of Nappanee. Come just listen to the stories or to add your own to our “audio vault” at the Nappanee Center history museum. Refreshments will be served and no registration is required. For more information call Martha at (574) 773-7812.
Nappanee Public Library Tour
Did you know you could use a VHS to DVD converter or check out a portable die cut machine at the Nappanee Public Library? How about “selfie sticks” or jigsaw puzzles? There are more than books at the Library. New cardholders and those interested in learning more about the Library are invited to a guided tour of the Nappanee Public Library at 7 p.m. Monday, Aug. 17.
In addition to discovering where to find current bestsellers, a favorite cookbook, or the daily news, participants will be introduced to many special services. These include the Library’s makerspace, online catalog, eMedia, computers and copiers for use in the library; framed original art, CDs, DVDs and many other materials for loan.
The library holds the tour the third Monday of every month and by appointment.
Book Club
Read along with the Cover to Cover Book Club at the Nappanee Public Library. The club will meet from 6:30 p.m. until 8 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 18, to discuss “The Interestings”, by Meg Wolitzer.
The kind of creativity that is rewarded at age fifteen is not always enough to propel someone through life at age thirty; not everyone can sustain, in adulthood, what seemed so special in adolescence. The summer that Nixon resigns, six teenagers at a summer camp for the arts become inseparable. The friendships endure and even prosper, but also underscore the differences in their fates, in what their talents become and the shapes their lives take.
For more information or to reserve a copy of the book, call (574) 773-7919, or go to www.nappaneelibrary.org. The Cover to Cover Book Club meets at the library on the third Tuesday of each month.
