Come to the library on Wednesday, January 4th. Between 4:15 and 5:30 PM, teens and tweens between the ages of 11-19 are invited to participate in Fashion Club. Learn about the world of fashion, how to create your own designs, and do cool Do It Yourself projects to make or repurpose your own clothing. Materials are provided, but you may also bring your own. From now on, the Fashion Club will be meeting twice a month on the first and fourth Wednesday of the month.

Come to the Bedford Library for STEAM Wednesday on January 11th! During this month’s program, we are learning about weather. What is it? Why does it do what it does? Let’s find out! Make a tornado, watch a hurricane in action, see a cloud form, and learn all about snow, just in time for winter! STEAM Wednesday is intended for children 7+.

Join us for LEGO® Club on Thursday, January 12th between 3:30 and 5:30 PM. Put your imagination to work using our LEGOS® or DUPLOS®.

Coming up on Tuesday, January 17th is Family Movie Night. We are showing The Secret Life of Pets (PG), an animated film from the studio that brought you Despicable Me!

On Thursday, January 19th, come to the library at 4PM to learn about our 3-D printer.

Days available for 3-D printing use will be Monday through Thursday between the hours of 4PM and 5:15PM. Due to complexity and time for print, only one or two prints can be made in a day.
