Some special programs are planned this month at the Bonner Springs City Library, 201 N. Nettleton Ave., Bonner Springs, Kansas.
The Bonner Springs Art Alliance will offer a Valentine’s program for adults at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 5, on making valentines, according to Jack Granath, library director.
Linda Horvath will lead the program in making creative valentines. The Bonner Springs Library also will offer Valentine’s Day programs for kids on Feb. 14 and 15.
The Bonner Springs Library also will hold the Board Leadership Series training during February. This training, offered by Kansas State Research and Extension, will be offered from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesdays, Feb. 5 through Feb. 26, at the Bonner Springs City Library, 201 N. Nettleton Ave., Bonner Springs.
Granath said there is usually a fee charged for this program, but this time, it is being offered for free.
The training is for citizens who serve on community-based boards that are elected, appointed or recognized by local units of government. The goal is for citizens to be most effective and efficient with their responsibilities.
The topic on Feb. 5 will be “Role and Responsibilities of Board Members – Effective Meetings.”
Registration for the program is free; email Bruce Chladny of K-State Extension at [email protected] or call 913-299-9300 for reservations. Registration is also available at the library. For more information, visit https://bonnerlibrary.org/community-board-leadership-series/.
