General Discussion / Potential Fairfax Library Happenings: Quilting Classes!

« on: October 12, 2011, 12:42:25 PM »

The Fairfax Community Library is looking forward to offering our community a series of quilting classes in the winter or early spring.  We will bring in a quilting instructor who will guide you along on your project.  We were hoping to get some feedback from the community regarding scheduling and what type of project interests you the most! 

The classes would either take place on a weekday evening or a Saturday morning.   As for the projects, we can choose from a table runner, a wall hanging or a purse.  Let us know (on the forum, in person at the library or by calling 849-2420) which project interests you and when would be best for the classes! Hopefully we can make this work for all interested! Thanks!

General Discussion / Potential Fairfax Library Happenings: Breastfeeding Clinic

« on: October 12, 2011, 12:31:00 PM »

We are working on getting a breastfeeding clinic to come to the library for those who are thinking about breastfeeding, are currently breastfeeding, or those who have wisdom to share with others.  The program would last about an hour or so and we hope to offer babysitting for siblings so that there are no worries about childcare.


We are hoping for some feedback about scheduling!  Would a Saturday morning or a weekday evening work better for those interested?
