Library programing, book sale, Adrian Armory open house
LENAWEE COUNTY — There’s already been one month completed in 2025. January came to a conclusion on Friday ushering in the start of February.
With the arrival of a new month comes additional opportunities for residents to get involved throughout Lenawee County. Community events are starting to heat back up after a chilly January and some much-needed downtime following a busy holiday season.
Here are a couple of upcoming happenings in the county that could be of interest to check out or to get involved in:
February kicks into gear at Lenawee District Library
From doughnuts to conversation hearts, and from keepsake boxes to Valentine’s bookmarks, the Lenawee District Library in Adrian and its branch locations across the county will have plenty of family-friendly activities scheduled during February.
To kick off its February slate, the Lenawee District Library and all its branches are having doughnuts and a scavenger hunt in celebration of “Take Your Child to the Library Day” on Saturday, Feb. 1. For dates, times and locations visit the Lenawee District Library’s website, Lenawee.lib.mi.us.
On Monday, Feb. 3, kids are encouraged to drop by the Deerfield Branch Library, 170 Raisin St., to decorate picture frames using candy conversation hearts from 4 to 5 p.m. While it is a no-sew activity, younger participants will require adult assistance.
Kids also are invited to the main branch of the Lenawee District Library in Adrian on Tuesday, Feb. 4, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., to paint a keepsake box. Registration is not required for the program. The library in Adrian is at 4459 W. U.S. 223. It can be contacted by calling 517-263-1011.
Book sale is Feb. 1, hosted by Friends of Clinton Township Public Library
The Friends of the Clinton Township Public Library will hold their next monthly book sale from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 1, at the Clinton Township Public Library, 100 Brown St., one block north of the stoplight on U.S. 12 in Clinton.
Features for the February book sale include Presidents and politics, diet and exercise, and puzzles and games. Both hardcover and paperback sections of romance novels are fully stocked for the Valentine’s season.
“The Michigan section has been expanded, and includes books for both adults and children,” a news release from the Friends of the Clinton Township Public Library said. “The Children’s Area will feature Presidents, Valentine’s Day, more books about snow and many high-quality books suitable for gift giving.”
Customers may pay with cash, checks with proper identification or credit/debit cards. There is a 3% surcharge when using a credit/debit card.
The Friends of the Library welcome donations of books in clean, reusable condition. These are accepted any time the library is open, the release said.
New members also are welcome and are encouraged to learn more about how they can be involved. Information about becoming a member of the Friends of the Library is available at the circulation desk and at the checkout desk at the book sale.
