Adult Take & Make Craft Kits ~ Pinecone Birdfeeders

January 22nd, 2025 · Adult Take & Make Crafts, Children, City Library, Events, Library Displays, Main Branch, Manchester West Branch Library, News, Newsletter, Teens

Did you know that February is National Bird Feeding Month? It is also Audubon’s annual wild bird backyard winter survey. The bird survey brings out the competitive spirit in my family.  Each household tries to log in the most visiting birds. I keep telling them that squirrels do not count!

February is the perfect opportunity for bird feeding, bird watching, and for anyone who is feeling in the feathery spirit to extend a helping hand (or wing) to our flying friends. So spread your wings this February! You can take part in National Bird Feeding Month with us because this month we’re making pinecone birdfeeders for our feathered friends.

These adult take & make craft kits come with what you will need to make cute hanging birdfeeder treats for them. These birdseed ornaments are very easy to make, and they look gorgeous on the trees outside! These kits will be available on Tuesday, February 11th in the Library Rotunda. For more information please contact Yvonne L. at 603-624-6550 ext. 7620 or e-mail [email protected].

Happy crafting and Happy Birdwatching!

January Adult Take & Make Craft Kits @ the West Branch ~ Constellation Luminaries

January 13th, 2025 · Adult Take & Make Crafts, Art Room, City Library, Events, Manchester West Branch Library, News

January’s long winter nights are the perfect time to bundle up and go outside for some stargazing. The air is cold and crisp making the stars hang strong and bright above us. Join us as we create fabulous constellation luminaries. They make adorable night-lights and are great for taking outside to do some star gazing. As a bonus, by making this craft we will be learning about five main constellations that folks should know and be able to identify in the sky. These kits will be available on Tuesday, January 14th, at the Manchester West Branch Library while supplies last. Kits will come with the materials needed to make two beautiful night-sky luminaries. For more information about this craft please contact Yvonne Loomis at (603) 624-6550 Ext. 7620 or e-mail [email protected].

Happy Crafting and Happy Stargazing!

Join us today, January 9th, at 2:00 pm in the Winchell Room for this fun floral program!

If you’re not a big fan of winter and you need some cheering up, consider taking up a new hobby, such as flower arranging. You just need some of your favorite fresh cut flowers and a vase. Check out our books on getting started with flower arranging in the display in the Rotunda. 

Need some inspiration to get started? Manchester City Library is just blooming with help. In January, there will be a demonstration on flower arranging and a raffle here at the library. Come join local florist Judy Faucher of Chalifour’s Flowers at the library on January 9th at 2pm in the Winchell Room for a free lesson on how to arrange your own creation. Judy will build a beautiful arrangement while sharing tricks of the trade on flower handling. Here’s the best part: at the end of the demonstration, the Chalifour’s arrangement will be raffled off to one lucky attendee. Call Amy at 603-624-6550 ext. 7620 for more information.
