Granite Library lists summer programs, insurance help and pickling demo
Summary
A Granite Library representative briefed the council on summer story times, a Maker Monday program, Take Care Utah insurance assistance on Aug. 1 and a pickling demonstration on Aug. 6.
Kim Welch, representing Granite Library, gave the council a rundown of summer programming and outreach the library is offering for July and August.
Welch said the library is running "Little Artists" story time on Wednesday mornings at 10:30 through the rest of July, with different picture books and art mediums featured by the librarian Amanda. She said a Maker Monday session is scheduled for the Monday following July 20 (presented by staff as "the following Monday on the 20 first") offering a chance for children to use the library's Create Space to make buttons and metal bookmarks via sublimation printing.
Welch also said Take Care Utah will be at the library on Friday, August 1 from 2 to 5 p.m. to offer free help accessing and applying for insurance programs including Medicaid, CHIP, ACA and Medicare. The library will host a summer pickling cooking demonstration on Wednesday, August 6 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., Welch said.
"If you are gardening and you've got an abundance of produce and you wanna learn a fun new way or maybe a different way to preserve it, we're going to have a summer pickling cooking demonstration," Kim Welch said.
Why it matters: the library's programs provide free family and civic resources over the summer months, including help signing up for health insurance and free programming for children and gardeners.
How to learn more: Kim Welch invited council members and residents to contact the library for details and noted that staff are available for collaboration with the city on community programs.
