Learn Stop Motion Animation
Get ready to create and tell your stories! In this Saturday workshop for youth in middle school and high school, we will learn to make animated film shorts. Participants will need access to a device with Stop Motion Studio (by Cateater) and their own LEGO or other action figures. For in-depth learning, we will meet for two sessions.

Guest artist, Keville Bowen, has experience leading workshops across the Delaware and Montgomery County Library systems. His workshops are an extension of his love for artistic storytelling and simplified from his time at the Art Institute of Philadelphia. He teaches throughout the year at Rockdale Art Center in Aston and at The Creative Living Room in Wallingford.
Women's History Month: Women & War
During the Vietnam War, when women were considered unfit to be foreign reporters, these journalists challenged the rules imposed on them by the military. They ignored the belittlement of their male peers, and ultimately altered the craft of war reportage for generations.
Drawing on previously untranslated sources, prize-winning historian Caroline Moorehead illuminates the experiences of four Italian women to tell the little-known story of the women of the Italian partisan movement, who fought for freedom against fascism in all its forms.
Discover the true story of two pioneering suffragette doctors who transformed modern medicine, raised standards for patient care, and shattered social expectations for women in WWI-era London. This is a great read for anyone interested in science, medicine, and social history.
