LITERACY IN THE GARDEN

Literacy in the Garden is a story & outdoor play program that will be offered in the back gardens of the library on Mondays at 11 AM throughout August and September. Jessie Zeh, a mother, nature mentor and former librarian, will be running the program each Monday with a fresh theme. To give us an idea for how many to expect/prepare for we ask that you please call to hold your spot, at (585) 728-5380.

STEAM STUDIO

STEAM Studio is a youth program that plays within the merging of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art & Mathematics. We will explore how many disciplines we can utilize while bringing our visions to life.
 
Next week, August 5 at 1 PM*, we will be learning about chemistry as we experiment with the art form of cyanotypes. Each participant will get to create a scene flat on a piece of watercolor paper that has been coated in photoreactive chemicals. We will then expose our designs to sunlight, kickstarting a chemical reaction, and when the paper is dunked in water the magic happens.
 
Call 585.728.5380 to reserve your seat!
 
* The rain date for this event is Wednesday August 12 at 1 PM, participants will be notified the day before if we will be rescheduling the program. Fingers crossed for sunny afternoons!

MAGIC IN THE GARDEN

Magic in the Garden
Tuesday, August 11th at 5PM
Please register by calling the library!
When August comes around we particularly love watching the monarch butterflies returning to our garden.
This Tuesday evening, August 11 @ 5pm, we will read a story from Mexico, where the monarchs go to winter over when they leave us in the fall. After the story we will decorate colorful butterfly lanterns so that you can create some late summer night magic at home.
This program is intended for our youth patrons but we welcome all as long as we have spots available. We ask that young children participate with an adult. The program will take place outside in our back garden. We will move indoor if the weather does not cooperate.
Space is limited.
Please Call 585-728-5380 to register.

COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS

Have you ever considered how your interests and skills could inspire others?

Do you knit or sew? Are you an artist or musician? Do you know how to repair bicycles or use an electric drill?

Would you be willing to show a group of us how to start seeds, or teach us how to make sourdough bread?

Would you consider leading a writers workshop or a drum circle at the library? Are you a historian, a globetrotter, or a naturalist? Together we could organize an evening for you to do a presentation! The possibilities are endless!

Please, let us know if you are willing to inspire, entertain, or teach our community at the Wayland Free Library!

Here at Wayland Free Library we believe in the free access to information, news, books, and services. We believe the Library should be a safe place for everyone! It is our goal to remind our community of the access your library card provides you, beyond the book rental services.
