Teen Programs

Need a break from remote learning? Tired of staring at the same four walls? Students in grades 5-12 are invited to visit the downtown library's Lower Level to use technology, including computers and printers, and to do fun arts and crafts projects. Students may use the side entrance off the parking lot to enter the Lower Level directly. Individuals are limited to one hour inside the building per day, and masks are required. Due to occupancy limitations, students may be asked to wait before entering.

The world is changing, and everyone is adjusting to a new normal, which can be challenging. Miss Stephanie will lead a four-part, grief-education series for those in kindergarten through 12th grade and their families.

Each month, she will offer strategies to cope with grief and provide memory-making activities that will allow youth and families to grieve together.

After participants register their families for each month's program, they will receive a Google Hangout link. In addition, registrants will be asked to indicate which library they would like to pick up art supplies and resources for the program from.

Mondays, 6:30 p.m.,

Vinyl Pumpkin Decoration
This class will be vinyl application 101. Use a precut adhesive vinyl design to decorate your pumpkin at home. Either a real or a faux pumpkin works. It will last more than one season if you spend a little extra money for a faux one. Participants need to supply their own pumpkin. We’ll go through commonly asked questions about vinyl and give tips on how to apply vinyl to an uneven surface.

• Tuesday, Oct. 13: Craft bags available at both libraries,
