Bedazzled Books Photo Gallery (July 2026)
We used our diamond painting skills to bedazzle book covers (and some other stuff, too) at this fun event! If you haven’t tried it, diamond painting is relaxing and fun.
Library Programs & Events
Enchanted Forest Dioramas Photo Gallery (July 2026)
Using a variety of materials, including moss, bark, stones, acrylic paint, and tiny plastic trees, teens created their very own enchanted forests within the confines of a shoebox. In these magical places rabbits and foxes and hedgehogs became friends and foraged together. So impressed with everyone’s creativity!
Art After Dark: Australian Aboriginal Dot Art Gallery (February 2026)
HAPL teens created their own dot art in the style of Australian Aboriginal artists.
Art After Dark: Alebrijes Art Gallery (July 2026)
Check out the fantastic alebrijes teens created this summer using air-dry modeling clay! Alebrijes are a form of Mexican folk art that depict dreamlike, fantastical creatures.
Push Light Moon Gallery (November 2025)
Teens created their own moon lights using LED touch lights, moon reference art, and acrylic paint at the library’s Art After Dark event.
Holiday Cards to Make and Keep Gallery (December 2025)
A nice group of people attended the library’s holiday card-making event and designed dozens of cards for friends, family, and folks in assisted living residences. Happy holidays!
Color Shift Potions Gallery (January 2025)
Teens made the most amazing color-shifting potions using food coloring and mica powder in a water-rubbing alcohol solution, then decorated their bottles with various labels and sealing wax. These make great props for parties, or D&D, or cosplay! Lots of ideas and recipes and designs can be found here. Check out some of the potions we made!
