Pride and Prejudice + Puzzle Purses

Celebrate Jane Austen's birthday with a creative afternoon at the library's cultural arts center. You and your family will learn about the puzzle purse, a charming folded paper pocket that people used during the 1700s and 1800s to exchange handwritten letters and poems. Everyone will make their own Regency-inspired puzzle purse to take home as a keepsake. After crafting, settle in together to watch the 2005 film adaptation of *Pride and Prejudice* featuring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen. The event includes complimentary coffee and tea to enjoy while you relax and watch. Best for families with kids who enjoy creative activities and classic stories, this three-hour program is completely free and offers a cozy way to spend a winter afternoon combining history, hands-on art, and movie time.
