Day Calendar

This week the Main Library is celebrating Diwali with our paper lantern craft. It's definitely not the traditional diya (oil lamp), but it is sure to shine through the dark and bring in good fortunes and wealth.

In the Fields of the North / En los Campos del Norte features photojournalist David Bacon’s evocative, powerful photographs alongside moving oral narratives from migrant farmworkers.

The Main Library has another great craft kit for adults to take home. This kit will let you make a jar of scented sugar body scrub. It's incredibly easy, and make a great gift.

Whether you’re a foodie or just interested in trying something new – Spice Club is for you! Pick up a new spice kit at the beginning of each month.

Decorate your thanksgiving table with a woven paper placemat! Available as a take home craft kit at the Mr. and Mrs. F.L. Schlagle library beginning November 1st, while supplies last.
