Editor’s Note: The Cascade Branch of KDL is a leader in bringing special programming to the community thanks, primarily, to funding from the Friends of the Library. Leigh Verburg, branch outreach and programming specialist, shared the following information about Friends-sponsored activities that can help you navigate the chilly bridge between February and spring.

     Spring is out there somewhere on the horizon. And, while we wait for warmer days and sunshine, there are programs and plenty of books to carry us through those long winter evenings. Here are a few options for you to consider:

KDL Reading Challenge, Let It Snow -  Whether you’re craving cozy, adventurous, or something else, take a dive into this annual challenge. All you have to do is read any six books of your choosing to earn a free mug. Reading any six books is all it takes to finish the annual “KDL Reading Challenge, Let it Snow!” But, why stop there? If you read four more, you will be entered into a drawing for a gift card to Cellar Bird Books. You can claim your mug and enter the drawing at the library’s reception desk. 

Adult Puzzle Tournament – If you’re looking for a reason to get out of the house, the annual Adult Puzzle Tournament is returning on Saturday, February 14 from 1-3 pm. Teams of four can register to compete against other teams to complete the same 500-piece puzzle in the shortest amount of time. Medals will be awarded to the first three teams to finish. Sounds like a fun way to kick off your Valentine Day celebration.

BINGO Hour – If you prefer slower-paced competition, BINGO Hour might be right up your alley. This is a monthly activity, with the next game scheduled for 10 am on February 10.  Join us for a relaxed, fun morning...no rushing required. 

Mahjong – Don’t have your own Mahjong sets and cards? No problem. Cascade Township will provide them for you. So, there’s no reason not to give this popular game a try. It’s held in the Wisner Center weekly on Tuesdays at 1:30 pm. 

There are plenty more activities where those came from. For more programming information, please visit kdl.org/events. We think you’ll find something for everyone! 

     Did you know? KDL offers Perkpasses for KDL card holders. You can check out six tickets for Fredrick Meijer Gardens, The Children’s Museum, and the Grand Rapids Art Museum. You can visit each of them one time a year. Check out kdl.org/perkpasses for dates and availability.
