Cozy Craft Cinema: Miracle on 34th Street
Cozy Craft Cinema: Miracle on 34th Street
Settle in for a relaxing evening at the library with Cozy Craft Cinema! We'll dim the lights, brew some hot tea, and roll a seasonal movie on the big screen in the Blocher Room - all while you enjoy time to work on your favorite craft project!
Bring along whatever you’re working on - knitting, sewing, quilting, painting, coloring, or any other craft - and enjoy the chance to create in a welcoming, distraction-free space. Tables will be available for spreading out projects (it's the perfect time to cut those quilt blocks!), and our kitchenette will be open if you need a quick brush rinse for your latest watercolor painting. Comfy seating and free hot beverages will round out the cozy atmosphere!
Whether you’re looking for a quiet place to focus, a little creative inspiration, or simply the company of fellow crafters, this program offers the perfect blend of craft time and cinema. We hope you'll join us!
This month we’re watching Miracle on 34th Street (1994 remake):
“Six-year-old Susan Walker (Mara Wilson) is skeptical of the Christmas myth surrounding Santa Claus, a trait she perhaps learned from her mother, Dorey (Elizabeth Perkins). When tasked with hiring the Santa who will pose with kids at Macy's, Dorey enlists a man with the curious name of Kris Kringle (Richard Attenborough) who claims to be Santa himself. His assertions are met with scoffs and threats of institutionalization, but a young lawyer, along with Susan and Dorey, comes to his defense.”

Winter Reading Begins at NMPL: Steep Yourself in Stories
Winter Reading Begins at NMPL: Steep Yourself in Stories
The North Manchester Public Library’s Winter Reading Program is back! This year, we’re cozying up with a warm drink and a good book, letting the magic of winter reading steep into our days and bring joy, comfort, and a little sparkle to the season.
Winter Reading: Steep Yourself in Stories is open to children, teens, and adults. The program begins December 15th and ends February 14th. Participants can register and track reading on the free Beanstack app (available in the app store on any smart device) or by using the Beanstack laptops at the library’s circulation desks. Each hour of reading logged earns 2 tickets, which are entered into drawings for a wide variety of fabulous prizes donated by local businesses.
Our collaborative Paint by Sticker poster will also make its return! As readers log hours, they’ll earn stickers to add to the poster. The image starts as a mystery and builds as everyone adds stickers to create a surprising winter masterpiece.
Winter readers are encouraged to explore titles of their own interests, in their preferred format, at their own pace. Readers can even count books they read to others!

Christmas Wine Tasting

Your $12 experience includes a curated selection of sparkling, white, red, and dessert wines, complemented by Rosemary Garlic Snack Mix and a Bacon Cheddar Biscuit — a delicious way to sip, savor, and celebrate the spirit of Christmas.
DRY SPARKLING WINE
Prosecco. Friexenet - Veneto, Italy
Awaken the senses with vibrant aromas of citrus blossom, crisp apple, and delicate floral notes. The palate is bright and refreshing, unfolding layers of ripe lemon, tart green apple, and zesty grapefruit. A gracefully light finish lingers with finesse, offering a clean, mouthwatering conclusion.
DRY RED WINE
Red Blend 2021. Lubanzi Winery - South Africa
A blend of Shiraz, Grenache, and Mourvèdre that captures the distinctive character of the Swartland region. Aromas of roasted sweet potato and fresh licorice rise from the glass, offering a savory introduction. The palate unfolds with ripe plum, caraway seed, red apple, eucalyptus, and a touch of coastal salinity, all wrapped in notes of baked fruit. Firm tannins provide structure, leading to a supple, leathery finish.
DRY WHITE WINE
Chardonnay 2020. Woop Woop - McLaren, Australia
Bursting with crisp stone fruit flavors and lifted by delicate notes of lemon blossom and lime zest, Woop Woop Chardonnay is a medium-bodied, dry white that offers vibrant fruit expression and refreshing charm. Mostly tank-fermented with minimal lees contact, this lightly wooded style showcases distinctive aromatics and a well-balanced palate—ideal for enjoying now and over the coming year.
DRY RED WINE
Pinot Noir 2022. Macedom - North Macedonia
Unfolding with enchanting aromas of lavender and ripe black cherry, this exquisite Pinot Noir captivates from the first swirl. Dry and full-bodied, it balances structure with delicate fruit expression, revealing subtle undertones of forest floor, autumn leaves, and earthy nuance. A graceful wine that lingers with quiet complexity and refined charm.
DESSERT WINE
Old Barrel Port. Brown County Winery - Nashville, IN Revel in the richness of this sumptuous ruby-style port, a sweet and velvety blend aged to perfection in bourbon barrels. Notes of warmth and depth unfold with each sip, making it an ideal companion to decadent desserts or a soothing nightcap. Smooth and inviting, it lingers gracefully from first taste to final drop.
