Greg will be on Zoom to guide you in producing your own original pastel painting of a stunning jellyfish, and will teach you how to create the special effect of translucency. The possibilities are bottomless and everyone will get to keep their 12" x 18” painting.

Yes! Coming Soon ...
We hope you're this excited when you hear about our new collection. We'll be making it available to the public sometime in June so look for more announcements in this newsletter and when you visit the Library in person.
And, in the meantime, here are a few hints:
- The items in our new collection don't have anything to do with books.
- Borrowing something from this collection will save you time and money.
- You'll help the planet by reducing unnecessary purchases and waste.
