Spoon River Library in Cuba is gearing up for their annual holiday celebrations. After having sponsored successful and well-attended children’s activities for both Halloween and Thanksgiving, they are now prepared to tackle Christmas and New Year’s Day.


Gayle Blodgett, SRL Director, said that their new and traditional offerings for the community are “a cool, small-town thing.” Their fall and winter activities began with participating in the Cuba Homecoming parade in October, hosting a trick-or-treat visit from classes in the Cuba school district and children in the Roots and Wings daycare program, and donating books to be awarded to a student in the Renaissance program at Cuba High School. On Nov. 11, area veterans were treated to a relaxed reception, consisting of cookies, coffee and good conversation.


On Wednesday mornings from 10 a.m. to noon, Spoon River Library provides a Craft Circle, which consists of community members who are working on specific projects or are looking for inspiration to select a project. Although the group has already started meeting, newcomers are most welcome to join at any time. Someone will be on-hand to help with questions about knitting and crocheting.


A class for making rag rugs will be held Sunday, Jan. 14, from 1 until approximately 4 p.m. The instructor, Jan Prater, said that the $40 cost for the class includes instruction and the frame for the weaving. Participants who are interested in making a rug of specific color/design are encouraged to bring their own sheets. Otherwise, some sheets will be available for use. Registration fee of $40 must be paid in advance. Spaces are limited. Questions about the class should be directed to Spoon River Library at 309-785-5496.


Patron Appreciation Day will be Dec. 14, from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. This will be a good time to stop, check out what the library has to offer and share some Christmas goodies. “Movies at the Library” day will be Dec. 28 at 1 p.m. Pick-up time will be at 2:15 p.m. Children 6 years old and under must be accompanied by an adult. Popcorn and drinks will be provided.


Spoon River Library will be closed Dec. 25 and 26 and Jan. 1.
