This Week's Library Events in Merrick

How often do you visit your local library?

Many people would be surprised at how much actually goes on at the library, and that most of it is free to residents. Both the Merrick and North Merrick libraries have a packed calendar of events for adults and children.

On Tuesday fans of the Clique series are invited to gather at the Merrick Library, at 6 p.m. to chat about the series. There will be a raffle and snacks will be served.

For the little ones, the Merrick Library will have an acoustic sing along at 6:30 p.m.

On Wednesday, if you're interested in kayaking, head to the Merrick Library for a kayaking stroke clinic at 7 p.m. No registration is needed for this class.

Volunteers are needed Wednesday night at the Merrick Library to help make blankets for children undergoing chemotherapy.

Need to tire the kids out before bed? Head to pajama storytime at the Merrick Library at 7 p.m. Wednesday.

Teenagers looking to get creative can attend a Tie-dye T-shirt making class at the North Merrick Library on Thursday at 7 p.m.

Looking for something the whole family can enjoy? Head to Family Game Night at the Merrick Library at 7 p.m., where you can bring your own games, or enjoy a new one there. 

On Friday, the North Merrick Library is offering a free workshop, where you'll learn to record and edit video on a flip camera.

If you need to contact one of the libraries, or register for an event, you can reach the North Merrick Library at 516-378- 7474, and the Merrick Library at 516-377-6112.
