The Foley Public Library will continue to have its regular monthly programs such as Makersaurus Time, the Doki Doki Anime Club, a Saturday movie, the Adult Anime Club and Coffee & Donuts With an Author in February 2022.  However, the library also has some special programming coming up.

On Feb 8 @ 10 am, Coletta Stejskal Bailey will give a presentation at the Foley Library on identifying “Hand-made Laces.“  Lace by definition, is a thread or threads creating positive and negative spaces.  Bailey will bring many examples of the following: Cutwork or Drawn Thread, Battenberg Lace (Tape Lace), Bobbin Lace, Crochet Lace, Irish Crochet, Filet or Lacis Lace, Knitted Lace and Knotted Lace.  The history of laces will be shared as well as some interesting facts you may not know.

If you have a piece of lace or a doily and are not sure of what it is, please bring it to the presentation.  Reservations are required.  RSVP online at the library website, www.foleylibrary.org, or call Melanie at 251-943-1031.

Folk musicians, Hungrytown, have performed for several years at the Foley Public Library.  They are returning this year with a special Zoom performance on Thurs, Feb 17 @ 6 pm in the upstairs meeting room.

Hungrytown is comprised of members Rebecca Hall and Ken Anderson from Vermont.  Hungrytown’s soothing sound and harmonious voices have made them a favorite at the library.  They always provide a stellar performance.  Reservations are required.  You may RSVP online or call Melanie for a reservation.
