(WMOK) Metropolis, IL  — The Metropolis Public Library is excited to invite crafty people to its community initiative, the Nifty Needles Group.  This weekly gathering invites residents aged 11 and up to explore their creativity through knitting, sewing, embroidery, and other personal crafting projects.

Participants will convene in the library’s basement every Friday from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM to work on their individual projects. This group aims to provide a welcoming space for crafters to focus on their hobbies while enjoying a friendly atmosphere.

 

“Crafting is a wonderful way to express creativity and connect with others,” said the library’s program coordinator, Colby Kennedy. “We want to create an inclusive environment where individuals can share their skills, learn from one another, and enjoy refreshments provided by the library.”

 

The Nifty Needles Group is perfect for both beginners learning a new skill and experienced crafters wanting to refine their techniques or tackle larger projects. Participants are encouraged to bring their own supplies and ideas to share.

 

In addition to hands-on crafting, attendees will have the opportunity to engage in conversation with fellow enthusiasts, fostering a sense of community around shared interests.

 

The Metropolis Public Library is committed to serving the needs of its diverse population, and this new group is just one of many initiatives aimed at bringing people together through their common interests.

 

For more information about the Nifty Needles Group, stop by the library or call 618-524-4312.

Streamlining Education: Online Registration for Massac Unit School District #1

WMOK (Metropolis, IL) – As we approach the 2025-2026 school year, Massac Unit School District #1 is excited to announce that online re-registration is now open for students returning in grades 1 through 12. This initiative reflects a commitment to modernizing education and simplifying the registration process for families.

Online registration offers a convenient and efficient way for parents and guardians to ensure their children are enrolled for the upcoming school year. By utilizing the Alma platform, families can complete the re-registration process from the comfort of their own homes, eliminating the need for in-person visits.

The benefits of online registration extend beyond convenience. It allows the district to streamline its enrollment procedures, which can lead to better resource allocation and improved communication between schools and families. Parents can easily access necessary forms, submit required documentation, and track the progress of their registration—all in one place.

To participate in the online re-registration process, parents can visit the district’s official website for more detailed information and instructions. It’s an excellent opportunity to take care of school preparations early, ensuring a smooth transition into the new academic year.
