Library Programs
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!
Wreaths of Khan Gallery (December 2024)
A most excellent variety of wreaths were created by participants at the library’s Wreaths of Khan event this December. To Khan or not to Khan, that was the question. Check out our creations below!

Project Shrink Plastic Gallery (July 2024)
Teens played with shrink plastic at this fun event and we all ooh-ed and ahh-ed as we watched our creations brighten in color as they diminished in size. This is still so fun! See what everyone made below:
