Book & Craft Pairing: Halloween & Glowing Pumpkin Jars
Pick up a book about Halloween or pumpkins & get a complete take-home craft kit!
The Hubbard Library Youth Room is offering a monthly book and craft pairing program; check out a book about our theme of the month, and take home everything you need to make an accompanying craft!
This month: Halloween & Glowing pumpkin jars!
After we receive your registration, we will send you a list of available books about the theme. Write back with your selection and when you pick it up from our curbside delivery service, we'll include a jar that contains everything you need to make this cute craft! If you need enough for multiple children, just select the same number of books off the list!

Homeschool Art Lab
10:30am - 11:30am
Hands-on art and art history for homeschoolers!
This program for 8-11 year olds will meet outdoors on the library lawn (the library has folding tables, outdoor chairs, and 2 canopy tents). Youth Services Librarian July will read a short biography or other related book about the artist or style we'll be learning about, show a brief video, or share books or prints of the artist's work. Kids will then have a chance to make art in that style.

Georges Seurat/Pointillism, Q-tip pointillist pictures
Nature artist Andy Goldsworthy, outdoor pieces with objects found in nature
Collage art of Henri Matisse and Eric Carle, ripped or cut paper collages
