For all ages.
Makerspace Open Labs are held on the following weekly schedule:
- Sundays, 1:30 PM - 5:30 PM (new extended hours!)

Shrunken Regatta: The Shrunken Regatta: It's back, and it's as tiny as ever! In case you didn't participate last year, the Shrunken Regatta is a miniature pumpkin decorating contest. Swing by the library to grab your take-home kit that contains a pumpkin, a paint set and a sign-up slip. Decorate your pumpkin however you wish, and bring it back to hang out in our fun, interactive regatta display. On October 14th, we'll pick our three favorites pumpkins, and the artists will each receive a $25 Visa gift card!
The Shrunken Regatta runs from September 24th through October 14th. No registration required. Kits available as supplies last. Please limit one kit per family!

For kids in kindergarten through 2nd grade.
