Woodbridge Music Club presents songs

The Woodbridge Music Club presents "I Sing of Myself," a program of songs composed by Leslie Bennett and performed by sopranos Melissa Coombs, Deborah Kent and Debra Madsen. They will be accompanied on the piano by Patricia Parker.

This program is March 20 at 7 p.m. at St. Paul United Methodist Church, 1400 G St. in Woodbridge. The concert is free to the public, but donations will be accepted. A reception will follow.

Folk music concert

Chinn Park Regional Library will present a concert of folk music, featuring the group Hungrytown, on March 21 at 2 p.m. Husband-wife duo Ken Anderson and Rebecca Hall play a down-home sound with flair. Performing bluegrass and ballads with fiddles, mandolins and banjos, their music evokes rustic environments. Critics have described it as American folk music at its best.

For more information or to register for this free family program, visit the library at 13065 Chinn Park Drive in Woodbridge or call 703-792-4800 (voice) or 703-792-4876 (TTY).

Family craft program

Just in time for spring, families can work together and let their imagination soar as they create a pop-up rabbit craft at Chinn Park Regional Library on March 18 at 7 p.m. This is a free, fun, drop-in activity for the entire family. Each child may create one craft. For more information, please contact the library.

Library re-opens

There will be a grand re-opening of Independent Hill Neighborhood Library, located in the George Hellwig Park, 14418 Bristow Road in Manassas, on March 15 at 10 a.m. Story hours, food and welcoming remarks by dignitaries will be on the schedule between 10 a.m. and noon.
