February is Love Your Library Month and Garland County Library is hosting a celebration on Valentine’s Day, Monday, February 14th, from 9:30 to 11 am, featuring coffee, sweets, a musical performance and “green” Valentine making.
“This will be a very informal morning get together, but we’re hoping to make the library a little more romantic for the occasion,” Circulation Supervisor Karen Covey said. “One of our employees, Tony Webb, who plays in the band Adayas, has agreed to serenade us with his classical guitar.”
The party will also feature the talents of Erin McKenzie, staff member and artist, who will be on hand to help make “green Valentines,” or Valentines from recycled materials.
“We’ve been saving scraps and collecting old magazines and picture books to cut up, so if you want to make a unique Valentine to give to your sweetheart, or to the library, then this should be a fun time to do it,” Covey said. Party goers are welcome to bring their own scraps or items to incorporate in their Valentines, but the basic supplies will be provided.
If you are interested in expressing your love for the library but don’t want to cut, glue, and paste, the library is providing another option.
“We have slips available for people to fill out telling us why they love their library,” Covey said. “We’ll display them during February so everyone can read them. Of course, if you don’t love your library, that’s fine, too. We’ll just have to sweep you off your feet with music, chocolates and Valentines.”
