CULTURE IS KING AT HALL MEMORIAL LIBRARY IN FEBRUARY

Get a heavy dose of culture at Hall Memorial Library, 93 Main Street in Ellington as we feature Art, Music, Craftsmanship and Travel programs to brighten your February winter days.

Back by popular demand, on Tuesday, February 7 at 6:30pm, Jamilah Zebarth returns with Zentangle Continued, where she will introduce you to even more fun designs! This method is an easy-to-learn, relaxing way to create stunning images by drawing structured patterns. Anyone can learn Zentangle; no artistic ability is needed. There will be a $5 non-refundable class fee which will cover all materials, payable within 7 days of your registration. Please note that failure to pay in time may result in surrendering your spot as we expect this class to fill quickly. Class size is limited!

On Friday, February 13 at 7:00pm, live music continues with Junkyard Heartstrings. Jason and Heidi perform songs from the '60s to the present in a variety of genres. They play the songs that everyone knows and loves, while also tastefully selecting deeper cuts from artists that appeal to diehard fans. Doors will open at 6:30 for the 7:00 show. As always the show is free and light refreshments will be available by donation.

On Thursday, February 23 at 7:00pm, Ed Parry will present The Longrifle and the DaVinci Code.
