DALLAS — The Back Mountain Memorial Library, 96 Huntsville road, lists the following upcoming events:
We have extended until Wednesday, Nov. 14 your time to order your Christmas wreaths. These 24” fresh wreaths sport a huge, festive red bow and Christmas picks. Each costs $26 and will be freshly made by Rogers’ Nursery the week of pickup. Wreaths may be picked up at the library Nov. 24, 26 and 27.
Amnesty Week will be observed Nov. 12-17. Fines will be waived on any overdue items returned during that week. Take this opportunity to return your overdue books and avoid a penalty. Please note this does not cover previous fines or fees on lost and damaged items.
Be sure to stop in for the annual Christmas Extravaganza sale which kicks off Friday, Nov. 16 and Saturday, Nov. 17. Gift items, decorations, wreaths, vintage collectibles, Nativity sets, holiday dinnerware, and much more will be available. This popular event is an inviting way to start your holiday shopping and find some great bargains. The sale continues through December and all proceeds benefit the library.
The Children’s Room is holding its “Fall into STEM” Expo from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, Nov. 17. Attendees can explore various aspects of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics using hands-on learning stations. Children will be able to assemble a “code-a-pillar” and make a scrub-brush-robot. This event is suitable for school-age children. Please call to register.
The latest session of Monday Night Yoga is forming now. Due to holiday interruptions, there will be only four classes: Nov. 12, Dec. 3, 10, 17. As always, it runs from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Mondays. Call to sign up for this moderately challenging workout, and handle the holiday season stress-free.
