Greetings from the Great Bend Public Library! Our Friends of the Library Book Sale is still going strong through Saturday. Stop by during library hours to grab great deals on everything from books, movies, puzzles, and more! The sale will be upstairs on the main library floor.
This Thursday, Dec. 5, we have our regular Genealogy Thursday at 11 a.m. For other library events this week, we have our regularly scheduled Tech Tuesday at 11 a.m. and later that evening we have Delicious Dishes with Miss Lisa at 6 p.m.
Tomorrow marks the first Friday of the month, which means games for the teens and a movie for the adults. For the last Casual Game Friday of the year we will be playing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Teens can choose from a roster of over 70 fighters to square off against other teens for friendly chaotic battles. Then at 7 p.m., adults can join us for our Adults’ Night Out Movie. This month we will be watching a winter comedy starring Paul Giamatti as a curmudgeonly school teacher who ends up staying at the school he works at during Christmas break to supervise students unable to travel home for the holidays.
Next week in addition to our usual Tech Tuesday and Genealogy Thursday, both at 11 a.m., we also have our next Adult Craft night at 6 p.m. on Dec. 12. This time we will be making Sugar Scrubs, a perfect gift for a special someone this holiday season or for yourself to add to your spa night routine.
Lastly, I wanted to mention our upcoming Taylor Swift Birthday Party.
We will be celebrating Taylor’s actual birthday on Dec. 13. This event is for tweens and teens in grades 3-12, and registration on our website is required for attendance. We will celebrate Taylor’s birthday with trivia, friendship bracelets, karaoke, and more.
Make sure to sign up by Dec. 11 to secure your spot!
