Legos and superheroes at Cheboygan Area Public Library

By Emily Clare, CAPL Program Director
Jenifer Strauss, the storyteller for the event virtually at the Cheboygan Area Public Library is super.

The Cheboygan Area Public Library is home to many amazing LEGO builders.

Lots of kiddos have been participating in the Library’s LEGO Build Challenge and their creations are fantastic. Stop into the Library to check out the lobby, which is decked out in lots of comic book, superhero, and LEGO inspired fun, including pictures of these amazing LEGO builders.

The LEGO fun continues at the library and is leading up to the exciting virtual storytelling event. The Cheboygan Area Public Library will be hosting “Flying without a Cape," a virtual storytelling event on Feb. 18 at 6 p.m. with master storyteller Jenifer Strauss. Jenifer will be sharing hero tales from around the world.

The Flying Without a Cape event will be virtually at the Cheboygan Area Public Library Feb. 18.

A Zoom link to attend the storytelling event is available on the Cheboygan Area Public Library’s Facebook page, on the library’s event calendar on www.cheboyganlibrary.org, and if anyone would like the Library to send a link directly to their email, they are welcome to email Emily at emily.cheboyganlibrary@gmail.com to request one. Also, if anyone is unfamiliar with Zoom they are welcome to contact the Library for assistance.

Other LEGO and superhero fun is also still happening at the library. Anyone who enters a guess in the “Guess the Number of LEGOS” game; submits a picture for the LEGO build challenge; and anyone who turns in their colored mini-figure will all be entered into prize drawings. We encourage all ages to participate in the activities. And all the activities are free. The Prize drawing will take place live during the “Flying without a Cape” virtual event.

Looking ahead, March has been a month of quilts at the library for more than a dozen years and we don’t want to break the tradition. Although this year’s annual quilt show will look a little different, the show will go on. Which means, the library would love to show off your quilts. If anyone is interested in sharing their quilt with the community, they are encouraged to drop them off at the Library anytime before the end of February.

The annual quilt show will be returning to the Cheboygan Area Public Library this March.

The key difference with the quilt show is that all quilts will be on display on the main level of the library as the lower level is still closed due to COVID-19 precautions. If anyone has any questions, they are encouraged to email or call the library anytime. Again, quilts may be dropped off anytime from now until the end of February.

Please note that anyone who comes to see the quilt show will be subject to the same safety precautions as any visiting patron. These precautions include the wearing of a mask over both the mouth and nose during the entirety of the visit, a one-hour time limit, and social distancing as much as possible. We appreciate everyone adhering to these safety precautions as we want to keep all staff and visitors as safe and healthy as we can.

Current Library hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Thursday; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday; 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.. Sunday. Sundays have curbside service only. The library building is open with partial capacity and curbside services are always available. If anyone has questions, feel free to contact the Library at contactus@cheboyganlibrary.org or 231-627-2381.
