The program will be held at 2:30 p.m. in the “Bored Room” at the library, and registration is not required. Registration is required for the next event, however, as on Tuesday, October 15th the library will once again welcome Shari Hudson from Shari’s Artful Expressions for a craft program for adults. Participants will learn how to do “Pumpkin Book Folding,” with all materials provided at no cost. The event will start at 6 p.m. in the community room, and space is limited.

Finally, people of all ages are encouraged to decorate their own mini pumpkins on Friday, October 18th at 2:30 p.m. Pumpkins and paints will be provided, and attendees will get to keep what they make.
