Milford Library has many interesting events planned for January
The Milford Public Library has a busy January planned with several events offered that can help you get organized, learn a new skill or educate yourself. The month began with Painting with CAT on January 6 from 10 AM to 1 PM. Those who attended were able to paint a beautiful snow scene to decorate their home or give as a gift.
“On Thursday, January 11 from 2 to 4 PM, we will offer “Downsizing? EEK!” which will offer tips on how to streamline your life,” Carolyn Tabor, Program Manager for the library said. “Maybe you are getting ready to move or are dealing with the belongings of a parent or relative. You can gain many tips about how to approach these daunting tasks at this fun program.”
As part of the downsizing program, attendees will learn whether it is best to do it themselves, pair up with a friend or hire a professional. The program will also explain what papers need to be kept, what can be recycled and those that are recommended for shredding due to security issues.
“We are also offering public NARCAN training on Friday, January 12 from 10 to Noon,” Tabor said. “This training could help you save a life and is offered free of charge to anyone who wants to attend.”
The Milford Museum will continue their American History Series on Saturday, January 13 from 1 to 2 PM, providing details on the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Reverend Dr. John G.
