Library hosting variety of events

Jay County Public Library has a busy schedule planned for next month.

The library will host a series of events, including its Fall Movie Challenge.

For the challenge, which runs Sept. 7 through 30, library patrons will be asked to complete challenge cards by watching from a selection of movie genres. Those who complete at least one card — there are four to choose from — will be entered into a drawing to win a movie night basket.

The library will also host a free showing of “Luca” at 5:30 p.m. Sept. 9. Popcorn will be provided.

And a meal planning workshop with Amanda Bullion of Jay County’s Purdue Extension Office is scheduled for 6 p.m. Sept. 30. She will discuss the meal planning process and give advice on shopping, coupons and bulk cooking.

Mother Goose will resume visits to the library at 11:30 a.m. on Fridays beginning Sept. 10. Story time at the library will be held at 10 a.m. on Tuesdays beginning Sept. 14.
