October's Superpower: Creativity

Have you read the Tri-Town Community Read book, Life is Good yet? Creativity is one of Bert and John Jacobs's "superpowers" for an optimistic and positive life. We'll be focusing on this superpower with programming in our new creative maker space on the second floor throughout the month of October!

October's Maker Mondays will begin on Monday, October 3rd with a Zentangle workshop at 6:30pm. Join Kate Quakenbush, CZT as she walks us through the basics of using simple lines and shapes to create beautifully intricate designs. No artistic experience is needed! You can learn more about Zentangle, and see examples, on the Zentangle website. Workshop space is limited, so sign up now on our online calendar!
