The Unfortunate Passing of Pliant McTwist: A Murder Mystery Room

The mayor suspects foul play in the case of Pliant McTwist. He has allowed Ryan, from Big Ryan's Tall Tales, to gather a group of junior detectives (teens) together to solve this crime! The teens have just 1 hour to interrogate all the suspects, beat them at their own games, and sift through all the evidence to figure out who is responsible, how they did it and why!

Be the first teen team to finish and be promoted to Detective and earn your badge!

Grades 6-12 only. Starting on April 9 at 9 am, online registration is required as space is limited.

   3:00 PM  -  4:00 PM Teen Rainbow Soap Making Workshop  
    Contact: Rachel Hapgood   413-596-6141   rhapgood@wilbrahamlibrary.org
   

Each teen will make their own fun and quirky rainbow soap using a glycerin based soap, colorful soap cubes, color, cosmetic glitter and a variety of scents. We will discuss the process of making cold process soap, blending of essential oils and the role of exfoliants in soap making. There is no lye exposure since the process does not involve traditional soap making techniques. Once the heated soap has cooled slightly, we will add the glitter, colors, essential oil (optional) and embed the soap cubes.

At the end of the workshop each participant will take their handmade creation home, it can be removed from the mold the following day and used right away. 

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS: Melted soap is hot. Program starts promptly, no admission is allowed after safety instructions are given.

Grades 6-12 only. Online registration is required.
