Join us at the HCPL Stratford Branch Library for Teens Cook: Will It Waffle
🧇🔥 WILL IT WAFFLE?! – Teen Food Showdown 🔥🧇
Think you’ve got what it takes to turn totally random, kinda weird, maybe-shouldn’t-go-together ingredients into waffle greatness? 👀
Welcome to Will It Waffle?! — the ultimate teen food competition where creativity gets crispy and things might get a little wild.
This teen (16 and up) & adult program uses Library of Congress women’s suffrage primary sources, such as letters, diaries, and women’s self-published information sources, to examine how suffragists documented their activism and feelings on women’s rights and social issues of the time.
Program attendees use recycled books, scrapbook paper, stamps, ephemera and personal effects to start their own scrapbook and create their own DIY personal history (that might become a future primary source!).
Calling all brick builders, are you up for a challenge? Teams will work to creatively complete a different build mission in an hour each month! Grades 4 to 12.
🎥🎬 Lights, laughter, and classic cartoons! 🎥🎬
Calling all teens—come hang out at the library for a special cartoon
Bring your own favorite snacks 🍫🍪🥤 to enjoy while you watch and get ready for a fun-filled break with nonstop cartoon comedy. If you love animation and humor, this is the perfect event for you!
