True crime and painting continue to be leading event topics at the Shelbyville Public Library.  The coming month’s schedule features events in those areas and more.  With Valentine’s Day now in the past, organizers are now thinking in terms of St. Patrick’s Day for event themes.

Paige Coventry is a circuit clerk at the library and also handles promotions and programming.  She says the next paint night is scheduled for this Thursday, February 19 from 5-7 p.m. 

It is not necessary to have a card with the Shelbyville Public Library to take part in the paint night.  Applying for a card is easy, and it’s free for Shelbyville residents. 

The next true crime talk is set for Tuesday, February 24 from 6-7:30 p.m.  It follows the recent Midwest Cold Cases talk by Bob Cyphers.

March’s schedule is full of events.  Logically, some are St. Patrick’s Day-themed, including the leprechaun gnome craft event scheduled for March 5 from 5:30-7 p.m.  

Coventry also reminds community members that the library is part of a network of others in central Illinois and beyond.  If a book – or any other item that can be borrowed – is not in stock at the Shelbyville location, the library can connect with others to make it available for you.
