Art rules! Ruler art is a great way to learn how to use a ruler while practicing fine motor skills and making a beautiful greeting card! This STEAM Take-and-Make Kit includes most of what you need to make your own ruler art greeting cards, along with related coloring and activity pages to practice our beginning measuring skills, and some related reading recommendations. Available in the Children’s Room on Monday, December 6th.

Pop! by the library to grab one of our gumball machine ornament take-and-make crafts for tweens and teens! Decorate a holiday tree or display it as cute candy-themed décor – however you want to enjoy this craft is up to you!

Tweens and teens are welcome to make their own gumball machine ornaments with our take-and-make kits, available to pick up in the Teen area (near the main circulation desk) beginning Monday, December 13th while supplies last.

Celebrate the season with Art’s Cool at the library’s winter-themed paint night! Instructor Deb Folsom will lead attendees in creating a beautiful red cardinal painting that they will take home with them after the event.

This event is for patrons ages 18 and older. Registration is required as space is limited; register at the library’s main circulation desk or by calling 978-774-8132. This event will take place on Thursday, December 16th at 6:30PM in meeting room A+B. Masks are required for all attendees.

Too busy to browse, or not sure which books your child might like to read? Book bundles are a great way to find new books for your family! Request books based on your child’s age and favorite subject, and our librarians will put together a surprise bundle for your family to enjoy.
