  1. This year I'm going to see not one, but two live comedy shows!
    One is "The Umbilical Brothers" show, and one is stand-up comedy show by Daniel Sloss.
    I'm not much for theater or opera, so I don't attend that many cultural events. But those... those make me so excited!

  2. TRAVERSING CULTURAL LANDSCAPES THROUGH THE LIBRARIES

    If you’re looking for an affordable way to explore in Waterloo Region this winter, look no farther than your local library. With diverse community programs at a variety of branch locations, there are plenty of opportunities to learn and meet new people. Each of the listed events below are free to attend, open to anyone and require advance registration.  

    The Region of Waterloo Library serves the residents of Wellesley, Woolwich, North Dumfries, and Wilmot with 12 branches. Below are five cultural events to add to your calendar.  

    Celebrate Black History Month with three short films centering Black stories and history from the National Film Board of Canada (NFB), followed by a community discussion on Wednesday, Feb. 25 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Register for the Ayr Branch event online. Afterwards, learn about Waterloo Region’s connection to the Underground Railroad by reading about Buxton, Ontario.  

    Did you know that chess, formerly known as chaturanga, originated in India during the Gupta Empire in 600 CE? The strategic game’s playing pieces resembled components of the military and the game traversed the world through trading routes. Join a game every Tuesday and Saturday at the New Hamburg Branch and every Wednesday at the Baden Branch from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.  

    Hygge—pronounced “hoo-gah”—is perhaps one of Denmark’s most identifiable cultural exports. It is the notion of coziness and encompasses everything from the glow of a candle to spending time with good people. Head to the Breslau Branch on Tuesday, Feb. 10 for a night of Winter Hygge from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. for ages 9 and up. Enjoy hot beverages, crafts and puzzles and good company.  

    Embracing winter weather is a feat for some and a joy for others. Cambridge resident and globally published freelance journalist Paul Gains will share his love of the Arctic’s snowy owls during a presentation at the Ayr Branch on Wednesday, Feb. 18 from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.   

    Escape the cold and slip into a sunny state of mind without hopping on a plane. Chef Arielle is teaching a Roti and Trini Curry Masterclass at the Wilmot Recreation Complex on Tuesday, Feb. 24 from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. for ages nine and up.   

    The Cambridge Public Library (CPL), Waterloo Public Library (WPL) and Kitchener Public Library (KPL) offer a wide range of tools to rent out, some of which will help support your Waterloo Region (and beyond!) explorations. Visit their websites or branches in-person to borrow skates, snowshoes, trekking poles, wildlife kits, museum passes, or Grand River and Ontario Parks passes.  

    Learning a language is a phenomenal way to travel deeper. Start at home with free language classes, French reading buddies, or language circles in French, Chinese, Spanish and English at CPL, WPL and KPL branches.   

    Finally, if you’re looking for an activity that’s engaging for the whole family, the WPL is hosting The Great Family Geocache Challenge. Geocaching is an adventurous hobby where participants search for hidden objects based on other participants’ clues. It’s an excellent way to get outside, exercise your brain, and enjoy a new and free activity at home or elsewhere around the world.  

    Happy exploring!

  19. The best deal in Tampa Bay? Try your local library – Tampa Bay Times

      The best deal in Tampa Bay? Try your local library.

      What do museum tickets, legal advice and plant seeds have in common? You can get them at the library.

      It is not Costco. Or Goodwill. Or that place with all-you-can-eat shrimp.

      It is certainly not the big-box store that boasts doorsbusters or the online retailer with overnight shipping.

      For people eager for a cost-effective social outing, look no further than the library. From tech support to legal clinics, from crochet classes to sculpture making workshops, visitors can tap into events and resources without swiping a credit card. The books are just a slice of the offerings.

      When was the last time you visited the library? I’m there frequently A month or two ago At some point in 2025 It’s been years.

      Free cultural events, from ‘bad art’ to ukuleles

      On a Sunday in early December, Henry Leng walked into the President Barack Obama Main Library in St. Petersburg and took a seat at a crafting table. He was here, along with some two dozen others, to learn to make stamps.

      Leng, 29, grew up in St. Petersburg. As a teenager, he’d visited the library for book clubs, but his engagement withered in early adulthood. Now, with the reopening of the renovated main branch, Leng hopes to revive that relationship.

      In the shadow of a loneliness epidemic, and with economic pressures on Floridians’ minds, Leng said he sees libraries as an antidote — a third space where people can connect.

      “A goal of mine is to make more friends that have different interests and different experiences, and to learn from them,” Leng said, etching a reindeer into a piece of foam at the free workshop. “I think it’s just wonderful that we have opportunities to come together and have fun.”

      He’s already signed up for a free sewing class in January and a book club featuring the works of Florida authors.

      “Three of my friends are signed up, too,” Leng said.

      Sparking joy is part of the mission, said St. Petersburg Library Services Manager Megan Danak. A frequent favorite is “Bad Art Night,” which asks adults to embrace imperfection in a judgement-free zone. Awards go to whomever was deemed to have created the silliest piece.

      Many libraries offer free access to local museums. In Hillsborough, the Discovery Pass program lets library card holders register for free tickets to institutions including the Tampa Bay Aquarium and the Glazer Children’s Museum. Pasco County residents can also access Hillsborough’s library services. In Pinellas, patrons can borrow passes to attractions including the Museum of Fine Arts, Sunken Gardens and the Imagine Museum.

      #Printmaking in the orchard 😊 On Aug. 11th.
      We'll learn how to design, carve & use #linocut stamps & how to use natural materials from some of the wonderful fruit species around the orchard to make #collagraph prints. We will get to #design & #create our own #stamps based on inspiration from the orchard & then use it in combination with collagraph techniques to print a pretty tote bag to take home.

    10. Ukrainian defenders preserve and adhere to cultural traditions even under difficult conditions. They are preparing Easter eggs in unconventional circumstances but put their hearts into it. Their traditions are always with them. #Ukraine #culturalevents
