Blind Date with A Book
To celebrate Valentine’s Day, Northern Tier Library is playing matchmaker! Going on a blind date is a lot like opening a new book: You never know what kind of experience you’re going to have. Call or stop by the library to select your “date” from the display of wrapped books, check one out and unwrap it when you get home. Hopefully, it’s love at first sight!
Knit Lit
Do you knit, crochet, or craft in any way? If not, would you like to learn? Knit Lit will be meeting online via Zoom at 6 p.m. Feb. 25. Beginners are invited to come and learn; experienced crafters are invited to bring a project to work on. Everyone is encouraged to bring their latest read to talk about. Registration is required to receive the Zoom meeting invitation link.
Winter Reading Challenge
Grab a cup of hot chocolate and challenge yourself to read some good books during the cold of winter. Libraries across Allegheny County are participating in the Winter Reading Challenge 2021.
