Greetings from the Great Bend Public Library! This Thursday, April 17, we have our regular Genealogy Thursday at 11 a.m., the fabulous Luna at 3:30 p.m., and in addition to our regular lineup, we have our April Teen Manga & Anime Club meeting.
This month, we are covering “Emma by Kaoru Mori.” Since this series is based in Victorian England, we will be making tea with a twist! Learn to make your own boba by brewing tea, boiling tapioca pearls, and topping off the concoction with milk for that classic boba taste.
Also starting today is the Great Bend Eggstravaganza Egg Hunt. If you find an egg in the main library, bring it to the circulation desk to fill out a contest entry form that will enter you for the chance to win a $100 chamber gift certificate. Plus, you can keep any candy you find in the egg! We also have an egg hunt going on through the rest of this week for the kiddos in the Children’s Area. Children who find an egg there can turn it in for a prize.
On Friday, we have our next Tabletop Teens D&D Adventure at 3:45 p.m. Although you would be jumping in the middle of a campaign, we do still have a spot or two open if you’re interested in playing, and of course, you’re welcome to just come and watch the chaos unfold as an audience member.
Saturday at 10:30 a.m. is the next session of the Gardening Class taught by members of the Barton County Conservation District. If you’re looking to perk up your garden this spring and summer season, this is your chance to learn from local experts.
Story times are back on Tuesday, with Baby Bounce from 9:30-10 a.m., followed by Early Literacy Story Time from 10:30-11 a.m. If you need help with your smart device, stop by the Information Desk between 11 a.m. and noon to get your questions answered during Tech Tuesday. Tuesday evening, it’s time for our next Open Book Club. This month, we will be discussing “Song of the Six Realms” by Judy I. Lin. Want to join in on the discussion? Grab a copy of the book at the front desk!
On Wednesday, Tween Scene will be back from 3:30-5 p.m. to give tweens grades 3-5 a preview of the Teen Spot and its events.
