Tuesday, February 10
Open Stitch Meet up at 6 p.m.
Ms. Melanie Smith will provide instruction for new knitters! The Wellington Public Library Open Stitch is for any knitters, crochet-ers, needle pointers, and embroider-ists that want to gather and stitch socially. New knitters, please bring #6 needles and your skein of yarn. Everyone else can bring any project you might currently be working on. The group will continue to meet weekly on Tuesdays.
Technology Class at 6 p.m.: Basic Internet
Basic Internet covers a brief introduction to the internet and internet browsing, with a focus on Google searching. We also discuss internet safety for beginners.
Due to limited space, preregistration is required.
 Did you know?… The library is open until 8:30 PM on Tuesdays?
Wednesday, February 11
Book Buddies at 10 a.m.
The theme this week is jungle animals! So many animals!
Book Buddies is the early literacy story time for infant through 5 year olds. It focuses on stories, instruments, and hand plays that appeal to all pre kindergarten aged children. Book Buddies is designed to lay the foundation for a lifelong love of reading, while following the Kansas State Library’s 6×6 Ready to Read program, which seeks to ensure all children have the six pre-reading skills necessary to become a successful reader by age 6. Book Buddies programs are designed to last approximately 30 minutes, though special craft times may extend beyond that.
Library Board Meeting at 5:30 p.m.
Thursday, February 12
Did you know the library is open until 8:30 PM on Thursdays?
Trivia Thursday at Barefoot Jerry’s at 7:30 p.m.
Groups of up to 4 compete in a weekly trivia contest at Barefoot Jerry’s in downtown Wellington. There are three rounds with 10 questions per round, and the team on top comes away with the coveted bragging rights of being the Smartest Folks in Wellington. The first round is always News and Current Events, but the other two rounds vary in topic and format. Trivia Thursdays usually last about 1 – 1 ½ hours. While there is no age limit, trivia questions may contain adult themes.
Friday, February 13

Interested in what the Friends of the Library are involved in? Maybe you want to help with the upcoming book sale in April? Whatever the reason, we’d love to have you!
