Adults

Join us for a night of junk journaling where we'll use crafting supplies and personal memorabilia to create or work on your junk journal! We'll provide basic crafting supplies and scraps, but we encourage you to bring your own materials!

What is junk journaling? It's similar to scrapbooking but less polished and structured. Here, we'll use scraps and random tidbits of found materials to express ourselves and preserve memories. Think about receipts from purchases on a trip, ticket stubs from a movie, a torn piece from a brochure, etc. 

Whether you are just starting off or wanting to take your skill to the next level, this class is for you.

All lessons are free. Please bring your own guitar

Registration for this class can be done when you attend an in person session.

Books & Banter is a monthly book club that usually meets at the end of each month to explore books that celebrate and honor the richness of different cultures, movements and milestones. From the inspiring stories of Black History Month and the trailblazing women we recognize during Woman’s History Month to Disability Pride Month and more. Our club delves into diverse perspectives and voices that have shaped the world we live in. With each book we aim to spark meaningful conversations, reflect on history and the joys and struggles of the human experience.

Do you need time to unwind? We know adulting can be hard sometimes, so we have a program for all you adults out there! The Adult Coloring Club meets one Tuesday per month at 2 pm for an hour of coloring, music, and great conversation. It takes place in the conference room of the Baldwin Boettcher Library. No registration is required & all supplies are provided. We look forward to seeing you there!

Adults – the Next Chapter Monday Matinee continues Monday, May 11 at 2:00 in our upstairs Innovation Lab Classroom. We look forward to seeing Lilo & Stitch, the 2002 Disney animated film where Stitch, a runaway genetic experiment from a faraway planet, crash-lands on Earth. As he wreaks havoc on the Hawaiian Islands, he becomes the mischievous adopted alien "puppy" of an independent little girl named Lilo and learns about loyalty, friendship, and 'ohana, the Hawaiian tradition of family.
