Weekly Programs at Richards Memorial Library Jan. 8–15
Richards Memorial Library in North Attleborough is offering a full slate of programs for residents of all ages from January 8 through January 15, providing a warm and welcoming place to gather during the heart of winter. From children’s activities to adult learning opportunities, the library continues to serve as a community hub with something for nearly everyone.
Throughout the week, families can take part in a winter-themed scavenger hunt set up on the library’s first floor. Children are invited to search for hidden snowmen and gnomes while exploring the building, with a small prize waiting for those who complete the hunt. The activity runs during open library hours and encourages kids to move through the space while discovering new books and displays.
Younger visitors can also enjoy scheduled story time sessions, which include reading, music, and simple crafts designed to support early literacy and social interaction. These programs are a regular favorite for families looking for structured, educational fun during weekday mornings.
Adults and seniors have opportunities to participate as well. The library is hosting free technology help sessions where residents can get one-on-one assistance with phones, laptops, tablets, and everyday tech questions. These sessions are especially helpful for anyone looking to build confidence with devices or troubleshoot common issues.
Book lovers can join the library’s adult book group, which meets midweek to discuss the current monthly selection. Copies of the book are available through the library, and discussions are open to new participants who want to connect with other local readers.
Hands-on learning continues in the Children’s Room with STEAM activities, offering kids the chance to explore science, technology, engineering, art, and math concepts through guided play. These drop-in sessions are designed to be fun, creative, and accessible, with adult supervision required.
The library is also hosting a free Narcan training session during the week, giving residents an opportunity to learn how to recognize and respond to opioid overdoses. The training reflects the library’s ongoing role in supporting public health education in the community.
Rounding out the week is a community fiber arts gathering, where residents can bring knitting, crocheting, embroidery, or other projects and enjoy a relaxed, social creative environment. The group welcomes all skill levels and encourages conversation and shared learning.
Together, these programs highlight how Richards Memorial Library continues to adapt its offerings to meet the needs of the North Attleborough community. Whether residents are looking for educational activities, creative outlets, or practical support, the library’s January schedule offers multiple ways to stay engaged and connected during the winter season.
