Spend spring break at library


Jay County Public Library has activities planned for local students on spring break.

“Mission Expl-OREO-ation,” a family night themed after the popular snack cookie, will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday. The event, hosted by the library and Jay County Farm Bureau, involves a variety of Oreo-themed activities, games and crafts, as well as an opportunity for attendees to practice milking a cow. Games will include Oreo Nerf blasting, a cookie-stacking challenge, Oreo Battleship and an Oreo speed licking contest.

“Slime, Squish, and Splatter,” a program for children to dive into different sensory crafts using clay, slime, shaving cream and other materials, will be from 1:30 to 3 p.m. Friday in the community room. The event is intended for children of all ages.

Also, “Teen Crafternoon,” a creative activity for teens aged 13 through 17, is slated for 2 to 4 p.m. Monday. Teens may stop by the library to color socks with fabric markers, turn items into disco balls or decorate cupcakes while watching “Shrek.” Snacks and drinks will be available. Registration is required for the event.

An interactive viewing of the Pixar movie, “Cars,” is slated for 5 to 7 p.m. March 27 in the community room. Participants will be given themed snacks and activities while watching the movie. To register, call or stop by the library’s front desk.

Library visitors may stop by the children’s area from Monday through March 28 to write or draw in a card thanking local farmers for their work, with the cards to be delivered to local farming families.

Agriculture-themed take and make crafts celebrating Ag Week will also be available at the library starting Monday while supplies last. The crafts will be provided by Jay County Farm Bureau.
