Here are a few examples: board games (Clue!), arts and crafts (maybe embossing or jewelry kit?), recreation and fitness (walking sticks to kayaks), kitchen (pans and urns), media (drawing tablet), equipment (golf rangefinder), tech (microscope). Find it on the main level and check out an item at Patron Services. See more at westportlibrary.org.
WHAT TO TRY
This winter, things are heating up in Tim’s Kitchen at Wakeman Town Farm. Make a meal guided by a local chef in the commercial kitchen space while you learn culinary techniques hands-on— then enjoy the meal. Coming up: A Mardi Gras Cooking Class with Chef Caroline Fey, Valentine’s Dinner with Chef Alison Milwe Grace, Sunday Afternoon High Tea Experience with Chef Robyn Herman, Pasta Ripena Workshop with Chef Vita Palmeri and a Tour of Italy Dinner with Chef Robert L. Norman. Tip: Classes sell out quickly. See more wakemantownfarm.org.
