MAKERSPACE WORKSHOPS
■
MAKER CAMP
DATE: June 10 - July 19 (Mondays through Fridays)
TIME: 2:00pm to 3:00pm
AGES: 7 years & up
REGISTRATION: Free. No registration.
For the 5th year, the library will host a daily maker camp for those interested in DIY, making,
creating, crafting, hacking, tinkering, and learning.
Makers are a collaborative community of all ages who share a passion for making things and
who are engaged in experimentation, innovation and creativity. Our Makerspace merges
DIY, craft, art, electronics, programming, math, science and engineering into projects for both
young people and their mentors. Our goal is to support and grow the Maker movement in our
local community through experimental play. We aim to encourage and enable people to try
new things, learn by doing and build the confidence that comes from guided problem solving.
If you dream it, you can do it – at the public library.

COMMUNITY-WIDE
READING PROGRAM
This is the third year for our annual campaign, aimed
at reaching out to citizens where they live, work and
play. Our proposal is that we all read one book at
the same time every year and share our questions,
interpretations and understanding. Sharing a
reading experience encourages communication
and broadens our appreciation of both others and
ourselves. Through a variety of discussions, lectures,
classes, interactive entertainment and immersive
events, we want to bring the community together in
conversation and enjoyment.
In 2019, we invite everyone to read the same book,
Into the Beautiful North by Luis Alberto Urrea. We
plan to distribute free copies of the book and
make them available in a wide selection of formats
and locations in early summer. October will kick off
a month long series of events with the partnership
of local organizations. In addition to conventional
book discussions, programs such as exhibits,
demonstrations, film screenings, parties, and more
will be offered for all ages and interests. We will
also provide related reading suitable for younger
readers, as well as teaching materials for teachers
and book club leaders. Our goal is to reach a diverse
readership, generate excitement about reading and
community, and inspire new and different ways to
experience and understand literature.
