The Sno-Isle libraries are gearing up to help kids put a heart on it for Valentine’s Day. They’re offering craft sessions involving stickers and stamps for younger children, making candy “iPods” for tweens and teens, and anti-valentine crafts and parties for the nonbelievers. Most sessions require registration by calling the library or online at www.sno-isle.org.

The Antipodean Valentine Party for teens goes from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Feb. 8. And what’s “antipodean”? A librarian might tell you to look it up, but we’ll reveal: It means the opposite position. There will be black crafts, unsentimental cookies and a trivia game.
