Genealogy Workshop: Research Huddle, Sunday April 16

Join us at the library in the Special Collections Room and be part of our Research Huddle! In sports, a huddle is when the players gather in a circle to strategize, motivate, or celebrate. We think genealogists should do the same!

This is the perfect opportunity to dig into your personal history and tell your family’s story. Use the library’s print collections and research databases to progress with your fact-finding. We’ll gather to use library resources, share our successes, learn from fellow researchers, and overcome our research stumbling blocks!

Introduction to Zentangle, Wednesday April 12

Discover the relaxing, no-mistakes art of Zentangle at a free two-hour class! Local certified Zentangle instructor Valeria Rienzi unites meditation and creative expression through deceptively simple line drawing to create small paper tiles of art. The Zentangle Method is a fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns called "tangles." Tangles are combinations of dots, lines, simple curves, S-curves, and orbs that make simple but intoxicating art. Your tiles can stand alone or can be put together into mosaics.
