February is when we focus on love, and the Ukiah Branch Library and River Oak Charter School hosts a Gathering of Hearts. Because of the pandemic, this year’s event will be online. Make paper-heart crafts at home (see “Earth-Friendly Valentines” on page 22), and then log on for storytelling, circle games, and a puppet play. The event, geared toward ages 2–8, will be held on February 5 at 10:30 a.m. via zoom.us. To attend, enter the Meeting ID: 892 4675 6550. For more information, go to mendolibrary.org or call the Ukiah Library at 707-463-4490.
