Upcoming Events At The Stephentown Memorial Library

• Make Your Own Terrarium – Tuesday, February 21, at 1:30 pm. Perk up any windowsill with a beautiful, low maintenance, coffee pot terrarium. Learn how terrariums recycle air and water, while creating your own miniature landscape using small plants, moss, vines and stones. This is a great way to go green. All materials will be provided, including a variety of second hand coffee pots. This free program, led by Casey Southard, is for anyone age six and up. Class size is limited so please call and reserve a spot for this fun project.
• Story Time – Wednesdays at 10 am. Calling all preschoolers (and their caregivers). Join us each Wednesday for some story time fun. In this half hour session, we read aloud, sing songs, move about and explore the world around us through literature. Parents and children are encouraged to stay after story time so children can have time for free play while grown-ups browse for books and socialize. Story Time is led by Rebekkah Corbett, a local educator and member of the SML staff.
• The Art of Felting – Wednesday, February 22, at 1 pm. Join local artisan Isabel Krebs for a hands-on demonstration of the art of needle felting. Using locally grown llama wool, kids (or adults) will create colorful shapes and creatures that they can take home with them. Felting is easy and therapeutic. This program is geared towards children 10 and up. Class size will be limited, so we ask that you register in advance. All supplies will be provided.
• Zumba Classes at SML – on Wednesdays at 7 pm. Zumba is an exhilarating, Latin-inspired dance fitness class designed to benefit anyone, regardless of age or fitness level.
