Multi-age Storytime

READ and PLAY together!
Engaging with books, songs and child-led play all help children develop communication skills, patience, empathy, and pre-reading skills and helps to build a lifelong love of reading. After about 20-30 minutes of stories and songs, we'll end with a time for child-led play together in our children's area. You are welcome to stay as long as you like!
Library programs are always free. Siblings, friends and childcare groups are welcome.

CANCELED: Open Studio with Artist-in-Residence Maria Schirmer Devitt
Thursday, Nov 9, 5:30pm to 7:30pm
***This event is canceled due to illness; the Bubbler Room space will still be open for the public during this time, but the artist will not be present.
All are welcome to join Maria and create a space for wishing within the Bubbler Room. Each week, Maria will be in the Bubbler Room on Thursday evenings, hosting sessions to create enchanting art together. We will explore the magic that exists in the natural world, our community, and in ourselves. We will focus on combining words and images using printmaking, collage, and sculpture. We’ll delve into questions such as:
What are we wishing for (something we’ve never had or something we’ve lost or…)?
What does it take for our wishes to come true?
Who or what grants them?
What kind of collective magic can we summon?
What offerings do we leave in return as we make our wish?
What rituals do we create around making wishes?
All ages and abilities are welcome! Drop in, no registration required.
When we wish, we wish for something just out of our reach of what seems possible. What would it take to bring it to make them come true?
