Teen Blackout Poetry Day
2:00 PM - 3:30 PM

Teens!

Come to the Fitchburg Public Library Teen Center, and show off your poetry skills, or learn something new!

Blackout Poetry is a form of poetry where someone copies or uses words already written, such as a newspaper article, a page from an old book, or a magazine, and uses black pen to cover up the words they don't want to see on the page, leaving a new composition behind with the words they do want to see.

You can ask the Teen Services Librarian for examples, or do a quick google search for Blackout Poetry. This form of poetry has origins dating back a long, long time! 

In the Teen Center at the Fitchburg Public Library, from 2:00pm-3:30 pm. For ages 11-18.

This program is part of Fitchburg's City-wide FACE 01420: Celebrating Fitchburg! calendar of events.

Scrunch-Paint a Silk Scarf
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM

Ideal for the beginner, no experience necessary - We will discuss colors and how to blend them in a successful manner using a permanent, high chroma, highly transparent liquid fabric paint.

Instructions will be given for a step by step “tie dye style” creative process and each participant will go home with a beautiful, wearable creation. At the end of the workshop each participant will take home their scarf and allow it to dry overnight. Once the piece is dry, it can be ironed on the silk setting to permanently set the colors. The scarf is 100% silk with a hand rolled (hand sewn) hem and 8” x 54”.

Open to adults and older teens (16+).

Bring an old shirt to protect your clothing.

Registration opens April 1.

Puppet Story Time
10:30 AM - 11:30 AM

Through Me To You Puppetry invites you to join Newton and the gang for  Puppet Story Time!  Newton and his puppet friends take turns reading stories  and singing songs with the children.  At the end of the 30-minute show, his  “Mom,” Leigh, gives the kids a brief demo of various puppet styles (moving  mouth puppets, glove puppets, arm & rod puppets, finger puppets). The children will then have an opportunity to explore some of the puppets Leigh & Newton  bring to share during Puppet Free Play!

This will be a ticketed event due to limited space. You don't have to register, but make sure to get here early to get your ticket!

Sponsored by the Trustees.
