July 19th – 29th
The All Together Now! Clarkville House-Building Project
is a Makerspace program for children of all ages.
Participants will build model houses out of paper
and craft materials that will then become part of “Clarkville”!
Take a look at the houses in this model town for inspiration!
Clark Memorial Library is celebrating the summer with displays featuring all sorts of outdoor activities and sports. Come learn about sports history or famous athletes and trainers, and follow the stories of people overcoming their limits to succeed both on and off the field!
Next week’s summer Makerspace activities will be
“Giant Tissue Paper Lollipops” on Wednesday, July 12th, 12:30 – 4:30 PM,
and “Magic Scratch Mania!” on Saturday, July 15th, 12:30 – 4:30 PM.
Children will create paper lollipops with colorful tissue paper designs on Wednesday, and make rainbow-colored drawings with Magic Scratch paper on Saturday.
A special new summer storywalk is here: make your way around the outer edge of the Library’s front lawn to find the hidden objects in six unique “I Spy” images! Good luck!
Looking for community service hours, or just want to learn a new skill? Clark Memorial Library is partnering with the Warm Up America Foundation to provide warm blankets to those in need. The goal is to create 7″x9″ knit or crocheted squares that can later be joined together to make blankets of various sizes. These squares are a perfect size to practice your needlework! No prior experience is necessary – we will provide instruction and materials. Drop in to work with us on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 2:00 to 5:00 PM in July and August. For ages 10 and up.
Clark Memorial Library will be closed on Tuesday, July 4th, for Independence Day. We will open at 10:00 AM as usual on Wednesday, July 5th.
We hope you enjoy the holiday!
Next week’s summer Makerspace activities will be
“Fish Windsocks” on Wednesday, July 5th, 12:30 – 4:30 PM,
and “Make Your Own Rainstick” on Saturday, July 8th, 12:30 – 4:30 PM.
Children will create paper windsocks in the shape of fish on Wednesday, and create rainsticks from paper tubes on Saturday. We hope to see you there!
