News Release
SYRACUSE — During the last Homeschool Program of January, children will celebrate the Chinese New Year. Home-schooling families are encouraged to stop by the downstairs meeting room at 10:30 a.m. Friday, Jan. 28, for the program.
In February, the Homeschool Program will change as a volunteer artist leads art classes at 10:30 a.m. each Friday. Projects include snowflake art, a snow globe collage and Faith Ringgold quilts. Cabin Fever Art will build on each week’s class, so it is beneficial to attend each one.
Storytime will continue at 10:30 a.m. each Wednesday and Friday. Children should dress for messy fun during Wednesday’s Wacky and Wiggly Storytime.
Adult Book Club Announces February Pick
The Syracuse Public Library’s adult book club will read “March” by John Lewis in February. This graphic novel is a part of a three-part series, but the book club will only read book one. “March” is an autobiographical black-and-white graphic novel trilogy about the civil rights movement, told through the perspective of civil rights leader and U.S. Congressman John Lewis.
Discussions will occur at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 15, via Zoom and at 1 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 17, in the downstairs meeting room. Copies of the graphic novel are available at the Syracuse Public Library. Patrons can also check out a digital copy on the Hoopla and Libby apps, using their library card.
