Have you seen the new additions to the Nyssa Library? Both the front and side doors have received beautiful new awnings which really add to the updated look at the library building.
As a reminder, when work is in progress at the main entrance, the alley entrance is available.
The library offers a craft class each month and is currently looking for cardboard shoe boxes. Please bring boxes to the library by Saturday, Feb. 1. Craft classes are for students, held on a Friday when there is no school. Check the Library’s Facebook page for information on upcoming classes.
The next class, from 1 to 3 p.m. Friday, Jan. 31, is open to adults as well as students. The craft is glass painting where participants will paint designs on glass luncheon plates. There is a request for a $1 donation to cover the cost of the plate and cup. There are three styles to choose from.
Pictures showing the project can be found on the Library’s Facebook page.
The library is collecting used sneakers as a fundraiser. Clean out your closets and bring your used sneakers/athletic shoes to the library for recycling.
Storytime at the library is held every Tuesday starting at 11 a.m. for children up to age 5. Parents, bring your young children for a time of songs, reading, craft, playtime and a snack. This is a great way to introduce your child to the library and foster a love of reading. The Nyssa Public Library is located on the corner of 4th and Main Street.
