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, we'll include a bag 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
