SIGN-UP REQUIRED, LIMITED TO 6 STUDENTS Teens and Adults This workshop is intended to answer that burning question: How the heck did Calder do that? Alexander Calder of course, was the great artist who invented the Mobile. In this fun and creative workshop we will explain and demonstrate the basic concepts behind creating a mobile, which it turns out, are fairly straight forward. You will create a small mobile, and this will give you the skills you need to make much larger mobiles at home. All you need to bring is your imagination and any sturdy paper objects (such as colored card stock or postcards) you would like to use. The basic tools, shapes, and wire will be provided.

An unforgettable memoir about a young girl who, kept out of school, leaves her survivalist family and goes on to earn a PhD from Cambridge University Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University. Only then would she wonder if she’d traveled too far, if there was still a way home.   Free and open to all. Books available through the library.
