TIME CAPSULE

Make history at your library!
Join libraries across the Southern Tier in celebrating
America’s 250 anniversary by participating in the
community time capsules! Community members are
encouraged to submit a drawing, letter, photograph or pick up a prompt from the front desk at your next visit to the library!
Submissions are accepted until August 31 and then the time capsules will remain sealed until 2076!

STEAM STUDIOS

This July 15 at 1 pm STEAM STUDIO will be creating art work for our time capsule. The prompt: What do you see? That can be about many things, like what do you hope to see in the next 50 years, or what do you see that is important to you now.

The spin on this task will be the moving image “in” the eye, incorporating some light paper engineering.
Being able bring ideas to life, troubleshooting and innovating a design as it materializes from your thoughts is a skill to hone for all ages, so bring your creative brain as we will provide the materials & instructions.

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!
