Burlington (Iowa) Public Library: Serving the Community Since 1868 Specifically for Seniors

2010-05-05T17:32:04Z

Programs

Specifically for Seniors
The library has designed a program series with the interests of seniors in mind. Join us at 210 Court Street on the first Friday of the month, September - May for Specifically for Seniors. Programs are at 10 a.m.

If Barns Could Talk

Friday, May 7th at 10 a.m.

All seniors are invited to join Rich Tyler as he discusses old barns. Old barns are more than just functioning buildings. They represent the soul of our farming heritage. What is a barn, architecturally and emotionally? What's happening to our old barns? Why should we care? Explore the history and current importance of barns.

This program was made possible by a grant from Humanities Iowa. Refreshments will be served courtesy of the Friends of the Library.

Sit 'n Stitch
2nd & 4th Thursdays, 9-11 a.m.
Bring your current needlework project and join other enthusiasts for two hours of conversation and stitching. See the latest library books on quilting, sewing, crocheting, embroidery and more.

"Oh, gosh," sighed the wife one morning. "I'm convinced my mind is almost completely gone!"

Her husband looked up from the newspaper and commented, "I'm not surprised. You've been giving me a piece of it every day for thirty years!"
