As we come to the end of 2017 we look back on a great year for the Davis Library since its reopening on April 8, 2017.
As I write, our staff is putting together an exciting lineup of events for all ages in the New Year and our January 2018 blog will contain more details on those, so stay tuned!
If you need some inspiration and ideas for the holiday season, do take a look at two of our current displays. "A Very Crafty Holiday" offers plenty of books and ideas on decorating for the season (and after). Our very popular "Winter Reading" display features some great reading selections for this time of year, when the days get shorter and winter arrives.
Star Wars fans, get your light sabers ready for Thursday, December 14th and our Star Wars Day, between 3-6 PM. Get ready to revisit a galaxy, far, far away and have fun with Star Wars games and crafts while you're doing so. The program is geared for ages 5 and up, and all ages are welcome!
From Star Wars we then move to a Marshmallow Challenge for ages 6-11 on Wednesday December 27. If you are wondering quite what the marshmallow challenge is about, let me explain. It will be a group activity where the participants will try to build the tallest tower they can out of spaghetti, string, tape, and...one marshmallow. Not only is this a challenge in engineering, it also challenges the participants to think differently. A marshmallow is so light, but a piece of spaghetti won't hold it by itself! Please note that registration is required for this event, and this can be done in person at the library, by phone or through the MCPL website.
The following day, Thursday, December 28th, from 1-3 PM, we invite you to take a break from your winter break with our Winter Break Craft Special. There will be crafts, games, and activities for all ages and no registration is needed.
On behalf of all the Davis staff, we wish you a happy holiday season and thank you for all your support in 2017!
