BingeBundles now available at Meredith Public Library

MEREDITH — February is Library Lover’s Month at the Meredith Public Library and its theme is “Try Something New at the Library.” Along with classes, the library is introducing a new service called BingeBundles, sponsored by the Friends of the Meredith Library, as are all of their classes this month.

Ever wanted to try a subscription service that sends new books to try along with some fun goodies to go along with them, but couldn’t afford the cost to join? Now, subscribe with the library and all that's needed is a library card. Must be age 18 or over.

Pick up a form at the main desk or at meredithlibrary.org. Answer questions about preferred genres and formats, snack preferences and other topics. Then the library will pack up to four mystery items along with some fun surprises in a shopping bag. The items will be checked out to each patron, so they will need to be returned, but the surprises are to be kept.

Try learning something new at the library such as yoga, knitting, watercolor, 3D printing, chess or a sassy step and stretch class.

Chair Yoga Tuesday Feb. 21, 10-11 a.m. Taught by instructor Linda Hopper, chair yoga is fun, relaxing and safe.
