North Webster Community Public Library Announces Upcoming Events
NORTH WEBSTER—As more people seek natural alternatives to staying healthy, essential oils have grown in popularity. But what exactly are essential oils and how are they used? Learn all about them at 2 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 22, in North Webster Community Public Library. Jenny Markley will explain the health and wellness benefits of essential oils and share her knowledge and experience using them for her family’s well-being. She will present hands-on education and demonstrate simple techniques for getting the most out of essential oils during this winter season. The program is free and open to the public.
Writer’s Corner will draw upon plenty of hands-on experience as they compose and share their essays about living in snow at 10 a.m. Monday, Feb. 19. If you enjoy writing, come share your passion with other writers. On the third Monday of each month, the group shares what they have written about an assigned topic as they learn from and encourage one another.
Registrations are currently being accepted for another Beginning Genealogy Course to be held at 1 p.m. Thursdays, March 1, 8, 15 and 22. In this four-class course, students learn how to get started researching their family history. They will learn the standards for genealogy; how to find information online and in libraries and courthouses; research techniques; how to organize their research; and much more. Taught by the library’s Local History and Genealogy Center Director Beth Smith, the course is free; nor is a library card needed to take the course. However, advance registration is required.
