Calendar

The Blue Lake Library is closed today as upgrades are still in progress. Construction is moving along even if not as quickly as hoped. We now expect to be closed Wednesday September 13 and Saturday the 16th, and hope to reopen as usual on Wednesday September 20, if all goes well.

This is a not-for-credit course for educators, service providers and any person who needs to talk with deaf, hard of hearing, or nonverbal people on a regular basis. Learn the basics of American Sign Language (ASL) and the signs most used in daily life. Topics include signs related to everyday life situations, simple questions, and key cultural differences and expectations when talking with people who are deaf or nonverbal. This class is focused on practical skills.

Do you write for fun? Is your head full of stories you want to tell, about people and places and ideas you want to capture in words? If you are a middle school kid who wants to write, come and meet others who feel the same. Bring a friend, it's free! Write stories and share them, bring your book and work on it, and hang out with other writers.

Get your creativity and imagination going with bricks and blocks! This free event welcomes kids to come to the Fortuna Library and use the library's LEGO and Picasso Tile building toys. There are optional themes, but kids can build what they want, display what they build, and get creative problem-solving skills while having fun. The club is set up for kids ages 5 and up. Please leave your own LEGOs and blocks at home (unless you want to donate them as outlined below!)

Learn to make your own special paper, and (if you like) add natural or artificial inclusions like leaves, petals, colored paper scraps, or special paper shapes.

A special time just for young children with their caregivers and families, story time brings children together to experience stories as an event and share the oohs, ahs, and mystery of 'what will happen next?' with others.

Join Ms. Sue and Sunshine the Chicken for pre-school storytime stories, shaker eggs, and rhythm sticks!
