Library Programs & Events

Our teen Swifties came out to learn some fun choreography to Taylor Swift’s “Are You Ready for It.” They were remarkable! See some photos below:

Lorrie Palczynski, certified yoga instructor, helped participants relax into summer in this beginner-friendly yoga class for teens. Everyone wanted to try meditation at the end, so we also had a brief guided meditation session. See some photos below:  

Check out the amazing henna art created by our visiting henna artist, Rebecca Huston (of Heathen Ink Tatoo), and program participants!

Michelle Nichols from the Adler Planetarium visited the library and presented her talk on the planets in our solar system to an enthusiastic group of teens and adults. We love Michelle’s passion for the stars! Here are a few photos from the event, but we highly recommend catching Michelle in person, if you can!

Teens learned how to fly and steer kites on a particularly blustery afternoon – we had 20mph+ winds at times! It was challenging with some of the kite designs, but participants had fun, and our instructor, Eric, was kept busy running back and forth as he helped people get airborn again. Enjoy some photos from the event below:

Lindsey Daehnke from Strictly Self Defense held a teen self-defense workshop at the library in February. Participants learned a variety of techniques to keep themselves safe in various situations., and left class feeling empowered! Check out some photos from the class below:

Participants tried out some choreography from the Barbie movie – broken down for us step by step – by dance instructor, Melanie Andersen. The last part was particularly challenging, featuring some jumps, kicks, and spins! Check out some photos from the event below.
