Food For Fines Helps The Needy In North Webster
NORTH WEBSTER — The North Webster Community Public Library has the perfect solution for unpaid library fines.
Food for Fines week at the library is a way to pay off those fines while helping people in need. For every non-perishable food item patrons bring in Dec. 3-8, $1 will be taken off their overdue library fines. The food will then be donated to the North Webster Food Pantry. Expired foods, dented cans or damaged packages cannot be accepted. The Food for Fines policy applies only for North Webster library cardholders for materials borrowed from North Webster Library and does not count toward lost, damaged or unreturned items.
Knit 1 Crochet 2
The library’s new knitting and crocheting group, meets 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 4. Beginners are asked to bring a size H or I crochet hook and Sugar N’ Cream brand yarn, and instructor Teresa Zurcher will demonstrate how to make a hotpad. Experienced knitters and crocheters are invited to bring their individual yarn projects to work on and share ideas. The group meets the first Tuesday each month.
Lego Club
Kids, ages 5-12, will be having fun at Lego Club 1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 8. The Legos are provided while each child uses their imagination to build their own creation. Parents and grandparents are encouraged to join in the fun as well.
