Cabinet of Curiosities: A Program for the Forever Curious and Young at Heart
Sitting at the heart of Mount Brydges, at 22501 Adelaide Road, there is a gathering place where young and old alike come togeth- er to find resources and make connections. Besides books and spaces to read quietly, staff at the Mount Brydges Library offer a wide range of programs for the community. This fall, staff launched a new seniors’ program called The Cabi - net of Curiosities, where participants enjoy friendly conversation, learn new skills and have an enriching experience connecting with others.
The drop-in program meets monthly to discover a new topic or activity each time. For example, in October, The Cabinet of Curiosities offers No-Sew Sock Pumpkins where participants learn how to make whimsical décor pumpkins. In November, it’s Poker where you can try your hand at playing the game – beginners welcome. In December, the community can dig into their closets to find their ugliest sweater for the Cabinet of Curiosities’ Ugly Sweater Social. Besides the fun of seeing just how ugly sweaters can be, partici - pants will discover friendly conversation and seasonally inspired activities. Wearing an ugly sweater is not required to attend. “Our hope is that the multifaceted nature of The Cabinet of Curiosities program will provide opportunities for local seniors to learn new things and stay young at heart,” adds Dallas Michaluk, Branch assistant. The Cabinet of Curiosities meets on the second Thursday of the month at 2:15 pm. Be sure to ask at the branch for more details and watch for promotions for the curious offerings coming after Christmas. For more information, contact the Mount Brydges Library at 519-264-1061.
