By Rhonda O\u2019Neill<\/p>\n
February may be short, but it\u2019s packed with reasons to get out of the cold and into Stettler\u2019s coziest spot. Here\u2019s what\u2019s coming up at your library as we roll into the heart of winter.<\/p>\n
Little ones and their grownups are invited to Read and Rhyme, running Fridays, Tuesdays and Wednesday mornings at 10:30 a.m. This popular program is perfect for children ages 0-5 and their parents or caregivers. We read stories, sing songs, play games and get those wiggles out while enjoying time together at the library.<\/p>\n
Gamers, mark your calendars. On Feb. 7 at 1 p.m., join us for Smash Bros with Shaunzy. Choose your main, test your skills and duke it out with fellow players in a fun, friendly tournament atmosphere.<\/p>\n
Ever wish your library card worked harder for you?<\/p>\n
On Feb. 10, join us for the 24\/7 Library and learn how to access newspapers, magazines and books for free online with your library membership. Bring your device, and we\u2019ll walk you through downloading apps, logging in and making the most of digital resources.<\/p>\n
Al-Anon meets Tuesday evenings at 6:30 p.m. If you are troubled by someone else\u2019s alcohol use, you are not alone. Join us for support and understanding in a confidential, welcoming space.<\/p>\n
Minds in Motion continues Wednesdays from 1 to 3 p.m. Designed by the Alzheimer Society, this program offers light exercise, snacks and games for people experiencing cognitive decline and their caregivers. Laughter abounds, and connections are made.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not too late to grab a copy of Lula Dean\u2019s Little Library of Banned Books and join Novel Bites, our book club that meets monthly at local restaurants. This month we\u2019re heading to Hackers on Feb. 11. Guests are responsible for their own refreshments, and pre-registration is required.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead to Family Day on Feb. 16, the library will be open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. We\u2019re excited to host the Kompany Family Theatre production of \u201cHome Sweet Home\u201d, paired with a giant Candyland game in the library.
