Things to see on your Next Trip to the Library

Next time you're down at the library, take a few moments to check out the arrowheads and stone mortars and pestles in the glass display case. The final week of summer reading (which ended Saturday) was "arrowhead week" and kids could take home an arrowhead necklace kit. While the arrowheads in the kits are plastic, those on display are real.

For the youngest book lovers - we have a brand new brightly painted book case for board books. Not only are there shelves, but there's also a drawer at the bottom that's filled with puzzles. Look for the board books by the orange kid's table.

Art Splash happens on Sunday, August 19

 Art Splash! happens on the third Sunday of the month. This is a fun, open art class that helps you remember what you loved about art class in elementary school.

This month's workshop meets Sunday, August 19 at 1 pm. The topic is Nature Drawing. If the weather cooperates there is the possibility of an outdoor art opportunity. Feel free to bring your own photos of nature to inspire you.

The class is open to all ages from 8 - 108, though artists younger than 12 need to have an adult accompany them. The cost is $5 and pays for the paints, pastels, papers, and other materials used.

Please register by calling Johanna at 659-7375.
