There?s a lot of things to do at the Union County Carnegie Library.

You can, of course, check out a book as previous generations of library patrons did. You also can check out a videocassette or DVD of a favorite movie or one whose title strikes your fancy. You can also log on to one of the computers at the library for informational, educational and recreational purposes.

You can also learn how to crochet and/or make a scarf or tote bag.

This Thursday, the library will host ?Scarf Night,? a class that will teach participants how to make a scarf. On Jan. 23, it will host a basic crochet class and, on Feb. 13, the library will host ?Mother-Daughter Day,? giving mothers and daughters the chance to work together to make a felt flower tote bag.

Library Director Ben Loftis said Tuesday these events are part of the library?s efforts to reach out to and serve the community in new ways and attract new patrons.

?The staff got the idea for these activities from staff members of other libraries during an exchange of ideas at the State Library,? Loftis said. ?We?re using these activities to reach out to people in the community to get them in the library and have them come back.

?Just as with the videocassettes, DVDs and computers, we?re trying offer more than just books,? he said. ?It?s very important as we go forward in this age of ever increasing technology for libraries to find unique ways to serve the community.?
