The year may have changed, but the Shelbyville Public Library is still offering its many events to the community.  The goal in recent years has been to get people out of their homes and through the library’s doors.  From true crime talks to paint nights and story times for kids, they have accomplished just that.  These activities and many others will continue in the early months of the year and well beyond. 

For preschool-aged children, the library hosts a story hour on Wednesday mornings at ten.  Library director Monica Cameron says other social activities help supplement these sessions.

The paint nights for adults are back, as well.  The next such event is this Thursday from 5-7 p.m.  Participants will use acrylic paints on canvasses. 

Cameron credits her staff for turning these plans into reality.  In addition, they are spearheading a craft event happening on January 22. 

The Shelbyville Public Library’s true crime talks have been a fan favorite.  Author Bob Cyphers is set to give a presentation called Midwest Cold Cases on Thursday, January 29 from 6-7:30 p.m.

For those looking to offer a sweet treat for Valentine’s Day, a doughnut decorating class will take place on Tuesday, February 3 from 5:30-7 p.m.
