It's midwinter and gestures of love and appreciation for everything and everyone important to you will warm up your February days and nights. In this workshop you will use a multitude of colors to make bookmarks from painting swatches and heart-themed pieces of art using watercolors and pastels.

At this time of year, we often think about the creepy creatures of the animal world, including many that are active at night. Learn about some of the amazing talents of these creepy animal friends and what you can do to help them help us! How do you hiss without using your mouth? Eat by using a built-in straw? From animals that look creepy like spiders and bats, to those that just sound creepy, many of these creatures are important predators that help us unseen under the cover of darkness.

Stop by the Reference Desk on Saturday to try out our button maker! Make up to three 1. 25 pinback buttons per person, while supplies last. We'll have pre-made designs or you can create your own. Everybody is welcome!

A Fall Plant ID Nature walk at the farm and on Whipple Hill. We’ll focus on basic identification characteristics primarily looking at native species, including a plant Native Americans used to supposedly cure “craziness” as well as one they used to wash their hands, a few best identified using our noses, several that are edible and medicinal along with a few non-natives. And we’ll discuss specifics on native vs. non-native. Cost: $25/$20/$15 (tiered).
