McFarland Caring Quilts Gallery Opening & Reception

Saturday, November 7th | 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

The McFarland Caring Quilts Project was developed by the E.D. Locke Public Library and McFarland Senior Outreach to engage older adults in collaborative crafting to make quilts for community members in need.

We invite you to celebrate their creations at our opening reception. Enjoy light refreshments, sign up to win a handcrafted door prize, and view the quilts on display. A short presentation at 10:30 will recognize the hard work and dedication of everyone involved. 

Family Game Day

Saturday, November 14th | 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM

Enjoy some quality screen-free time with a variety of card and board games. We'll have classic and new choices, or bring your own. Bring a food pantry donation for a chance to win a free game!

The library will be closed on Thursday, November 26 and Friday, November 27 for Thanksgiving. Our website is open 24/7 with access to your account, our catalog, and a variety of free digital media and online resources: mcfarlandlibrary.org

Nerf Night is back with the McFarland Police Department joining us once again! Stay and enjoy some pizza after the game. The library will provide Nerf guns and ammo. You may bring your own Nerf equipment, but darts/ammo are not recommended as it is very unlikely you will get all of them back.
