SUMMARY:AIC & WPL: Community Craft Swap
DESCRIPTION:Community Craft Swap! Meet other local crafters! Do you have old or new craft supplies you aren’t using? Consider swapping them at our Community Craft Swap! \nDrop off will start on Wed Jan 8 (10am-8pm)\, Thurs Jan 9 (10am-1pm)\, Fri Jan 10 (10am-1pm) and the actual Craft Swap will take place on Sat\, Jan 11 (10am-3pm). \nAll items that remain will be repurposed for programming at the WPL and AIC or donated. \nCost: FREE \nDate: Saturday\, Jan 11 (10am-3pm) \nFAQ: \nDo I have to donate crafts in order to participate in the swap? \nNo\, you will be able to “shop” on Sat\, Jan 11 (10am-3pm) \nI have a couple of small boxes full of random supplies. I don’t have time to sort it all out. Can I just drop it off and be done with it? \nWe gently ask that all donated craft supplies have containers (i.e. please don’t give us a handful of beads\, please bag it or box it)\, and be clean and free of damage. These should be new or gently-used items you would like to find a home. \nHow many craft supplies can I take? \nNo\, there is no limit to the number of free craft supplies you can take with you. The only thing we ask is to please be respectful to other folks who also might be interested in items and to always be kind. \nPlease bring your own bag or bags to take supplies home!

SUMMARY:Reading Room Music:  Lily Vakili (duo) of Vakili Band
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to welcome Lily Vakili and Joel Dorow (the Duo Project) of the Vakili band to the Reading Room Music Series! \n\nLily Vakili’s music has been described as “upp[ing] the emotional and political ante with … punchy tunes\, delivered from a strong female perspective” (Relix Mag) and “an electric blend of Rock\, Soul & Psychedelia…” (Under The Radar); and her voice as “compelling the way the first Patti Smith music gripped a listener\, the Swans’ Jarboe enthralled or even Nico startled” (Americana Highways). Her most recent project is the solo EP Tannersville\, has been called a “casual\, pensive\, yet intensely luxuriant showcase” by Americana Highways. \n\n\n“Life beats you down\, no doubt.  But if you have something to say…” she pauses\, then continues\, “my songs speak to people who know – whether it’s about desire\, love\, loss or defiance – they’ve been there in their own uniquely profound\, but universal way. That’s the mystery\, and the hope.”  To learn more\, check out vakiliband.com \nJoining Lily is long-time Vakili Band collaborator\, harmonica player and fellow Iowan\, Joel Dorow. \n\nCheck out the Vakili Band and all of our performers past and present on the AIC’s Reading Room Music on Spotify at bit.ly/RRMS-radio!  As future acts are booked\, they’ll be added. \n\nGrab seats and refreshments (including beer and wine)\, starting at 7pm.  The show will start at 7:30pm. \n\n
