Library to Welcome 2025 With Activities For All

GARWOOD — The Garwood Public Library will kick off the new year with a month-long series of activities for all ages.

The Knitting Club will meet on the Mondays of January 6, 13 and 27, at 10:30 a.m. Participants can learn how to knit or show others how it is done while enjoying fun conversation. This program is open to all levels and no registration is required. Yarn and needles are provided to newcomers.

Kid’s Chess also will be held on January 6, 13 and 27, at 3 p.m. This activity comprises informal chess games for children of all ages, offered as non-instructional, supervised play. No registration is required but participation is limited to 12.

Storytime will take place on the Tuesdays of January 7, 14, 21 and 28, at 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. Toddlers and their caregivers are invited to join Miss Maryanne for stories and more. Registration is required and limited to 12. To register, visit the library website events calendar at https://garwoodpl.org/ or call the library at (908) 789-1670.

Grab and Go Kid’s Craft will be available on Tuesday, January 7, at 3 p.m. Participants may pick up supplies and instructions for a seasonal craft. Registration is required for craft kits and is limited to 15 participants. To sign up, visit the website calendar or call the library.

They also learn about insulators and conductors and experiment to find out what conducts. All their problem-solving skills are put to use to create series and parallel circuits. Once children master circuits, they use their new knowhow to engineer a device that can solve mysterious hidden connections. Registration is required and participation limited to 10.
