A Puzzling Competition January 13, 6:00-7:00 p.m. If the cold of winter has you down in the dumps, we have a "puzzling" program to perk you up: a puzzle competition!

The first to complete the puzzle (or the furthest along in 50 minutes) gets our grand prize: Two tickets to the Marblehead Chamber of Commerce's 6th Annual Wine & Chocolate Walk in February. Other prizes will be available, along with drinks and snacks. Oh, and each team gets to keep their puzzle! No registration is required. |

A "busted" canvas looks like a canvas busted open to reveal a cool picture underneath. We are going to make a winter scene that you can use for decoration because, you know, we can always use more decorations! No registration required, but supplies will be limited. |

Paws for Reading January 22, 4:30-5:30 p.m. Calling all kids! Come read with our therapy dog, Sophie! Therapy dogs can reduce anxiety and improve focus & attention span.
