FROM CADL STOCKBRIDGE

by Head Librarian Sherri McConnell

As the weather gets warmer the flowers aren’t the only things opening – CADL Stockbridge is planning on opening for in-branch visits on May 3! People will be able to schedule a time to browse the stacks and check out items in person. This service will be added to the computer appointments that people have been able to make since January.

We will continue to offer doorside contactless pick-up as well as our storytime, craft, science, and game Take & Make kits. Library staff create kits for all ages that you can request through MyTime at cadl.org/mytime or by giving us a call. April Take & Make kits include a butterfly puppet, seed starting and mancala.

This February we sprang into action for the Winter Warm Up, a walking and running activity sponsored by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and the Playmakers Fitness Foundation of Okemos! This was our first time participating in virtual competition with other Lansing-area towns. Despite having the smallest team, we can excitedly say that as of March 10 we’ve had the highest average miles per person at 33 miles!

This is a great start and I hope it will continue with a new spring walking and running program sponsored by the Friends of the Stockbridge Library and funded by the 5 Healthy Towns Foundation. More details to come.

Capital Area District Libraries’ Stockbridge branch is located at 200 Wood St. For more information, call 517-851-7810 or visit cadl.org.
