Card Angels

In honor of World Kindness Day, the Card Angels are coming to Scranton! The Card Angels is a community group that creates homemade cards with uplifting messages to send to cancer treatment centers and nursing homes, bringing joy to patients.

Our largest card delivery of the year is approaching, and we need your help! No prior card-making experience is required. Join us for a fun and creative evening as we make holiday cards for the CT Cancer Foundation. All materials will be provided—just bring your creativity and enthusiasm!

For more information, please contact Jesse: bernierj@scrantonlibrary.org.

How to solve your own murder

Description provided by publisher: “A dual narrative, feel-good mystery in which a woman, Frances, spends a lifetime trying to prevent her murder as predicted by a fortune teller at a country fair when she was just 17. When she is in fact murdered nearly 60 years later, her great niece Annie must solve the crime to avenge her great aunt’s death, and in so doing uncovers the dark heart of the quaint English village of Castle Knoll, where she might just find herself in the path of the killer.”

Free seed packets of various native plants are now available at the Library! Local UCONN Master Gardeners have prepared packets of at least a dozen varieties. The packets are in a rack at the Borrowing desk, along with instructions on stratifying and planting the seeds.  A demonstration on seed starting will be held on January 23, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. in the Lifelong Learning Room.
