Carnegie Library of McKeesport will host a family-game night at 5 p.m. Saturday in the children’s room, 1507 Library Ave., a spokesman said.
Library Director Vincent D’Alesio said staff will host parents and kids in a game of “Apples to Apples Jr.,” a vocabulary-building game of funny word combinations.
The game is intended for players ages 8 and up. Registration in advance is requested, because space is limited. Call (412) 672-0625.
In other events for the second half of January, visitors are invited to take a “shelfie” — that’s a self-portrait in the shelves — on Jan. 25 during library business hours. If the photos are posted on social media, tag them with Carnegie Library of McKeesport on Facebook and @McKeesLibrary on Twitter.
The next cooking lesson in “Grandma’s Kitchen” is scheduled for 2 p.m. Jan. 27 in the children’s room. Volunteers are needed, including instructors who can share recipes. If you can help, call Mary Rose Bendel at (41) 672-0625.
Kids’ Kitchen will meet at 3 p.m. Monday in the children’s room. Participants will celebrate the Chinese New Year by learning to cook egg rolls and fried rice. Registration in advance is necessary by calling the library, but the event is free.
“Cold-Comfort Crafting” continues at 3 p.m. Wednesdays. The next class, on Jan. 25, will focus on making “bath bombs.” Registration in advance is required by calling the library.
All month, the library has been screening films of the 1930s on Fridays for adult patrons. The final film, “It Happened One Night,” starring Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert and directed by Frank Capra, will be screened at 10 a.m. Jan. 27. A discussion will follow. The event is free and open to the public.
