Book Buddies is a free program that brings children and teen volunteers together to share the joy of reading. It pairs trained volunteers (Big Buddies) with children in Kindergarten through 3rd grades (Little Buddies). For 10 weeks, the Buddies meet once a week in the afternoon for 45 minutes of one-on-one shared reading.
The Fall cycle of Book Buddies will run from September 17th to November 19th. Reading sessions will be in the library meeting room.
Each month, participants are invited to sketch, plan scripts, make backdrops, record, and edit stop motion animation films! All equipment and snacks will be provided. This program is for teens ages 13-18.
In this program, one person's trash is another person's craft! This is a twist on scrapbooking, in which the journaler collects junk (receipts, tags, tickets, labels, produce stickers, magazine cut-outs, or whatever other flat item), then makes art out of the items by arranging, then gluing or taping and adding other mediums (sketching, painting, writing, etc.) All materials will be provided, including scrap materials, journals and snacks. No registration is required. This program is for teens ages 13-18.
In this program, participants are invited to learn a bit about the traveling history of Talavera pottery while painting their own tile! All materials and snacks will be provided. No registration is required. This program is for teens ages 13-18.
Calling all teen artists! Whatever your medium is, you're invited to hang with other artists and work on your projects.
