      A new month means another exciting literary painting to announce!  Inspired by Harper Lee's literary classic, "To Kill a Mockingbird," we will be holding a special mockingbird painting to celebrate the literary and cultural impact Lee's novel continues to have from the moment it was published. Painting materials will be provided, and a sample will be on display for inspiration to draw from or emulate. This event is for ages 15+, and will take place on Saturday, August 23rd at 2 PM. We have a beautiful painting in store for you, so be sure to drop on by!

      Heading into the new school year, this month's Tween and Teen Hangout is sure to provide some layback activities afterschool. We'll kick things off with exciting rounds of UNO, then connect our controllers the following week for some friendly competition during video games. Later in the month, we'll slow things down by letting out our creative side during this month's art club. Lastly, we'll head into September following our monthly book club, so be sure to ask at the front desk for next month's book.
