Though normally meeting the first Tuesday of each month, the January session of Knit 1 Crochet 2 has been moved to 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 15, due to the New Year’s holiday. If you’re an experienced knitter or crocheter, bring a yarn project to the library to work on while chatting and sharing ideas with others. Learners should bring a size H or I crochet hook and Sugar N’ Cream brand yarn, and instructor Teresa Zurcher will help you get started crocheting a dish cloth.

Mystery Marathon starts its second week as adult readers compete to see who can read the most mysteries during January and February. Register to play at the circulation desk and select an alias name to play under; then read any type of mystery book, eBook or audio book from the North Webster Library’s collection or from any other Evergreen library. Details and contest rules are available at the circulation desk. The winner will be announced March 1.
