  • Story Seekers Book Club – Youth

    Meeting Room A 131 N. Walnut St., Batesville, IN, United States

    December 3rd we will be discussing THE YEAR OF MISS AGNES by Kirkpatrick Hill, the book we read in November. Participants will also receive the next book we will be reading for December which is A Boy Called Christmas by Matt Haig. A Boy Called Christmas summary from Amazon.com: Eleven-year-old Nikolas–nicknamed "Christmas"–has received only one toy in his life: a doll carved out of a turnip. But he's happy with his turnip doll, because it came from his parents, who love him. Then one day his father goes missing, and Nikolas must travel to the North Pole to save him. Along the way, Nikolas befriends a surly reindeer, bests a troublesome troll, and discovers a hidden world of enchantment in the frozen village of Elfhelm. But the elves of Elfhelm have troubles of their own: Christmas spirit and goodwill are at an all-time low, and Nikolas may be the only person who can fix things-if only he can reach his father before it's too late. . . . Participants will read the book for that month and discuss it the following month. There will be a craft or activity to go along with the book. This FREE book club is for grades 3rd - 8th. Please register below to join the CLUB!

  • Felting Class

    Meeting Room A 131 N. Walnut St., Batesville, IN, United States

    Felting is one of the oldest forms of textile arts. Needle felting is begun by rolling a small amount of wool and stabbing it with the needle. It is a quick hobby to learn, and many find it stress-relieving. This month we are meeting on the 2nd Thursday of the month as BMPL is closed on our “regular” day. In December our new instructor, Nancy Laymon will take us back to the basics. This is a great time to try needle felting if you’ve never been before. December’s star project will allow you to learn what needle felting is, how it is done, and provide the foundation for future projects.  If you are already familiar with needle felting, you may also come and work on a project of your own choosing, without instruction. Please note: Due to the Friends of the Library book sale, this program will be held at the main library in Room A. Please join us for this NO cost program. Registration is REQUIRED for this program. Fill out the form below.
