Make your own greeting cards-for Valentine’s Day, or any other occasion!
Sid Tamm, cartoonist (and MBL cell biologist!) will show participants the advantages of making really personal greeting cards, by hand not by computer, instead of buying impersonal commercial cards. “You don't have to be an artist to do this--in fact, it's better if you're not. You'll practice and use a variety of graphic methods to celebrate someone you know well with humor and perspicacity, to the delight and amazement of the person getting your card.” (Sid Tamm)
Geared toward adults and older teens. Registration is appreciated-come by the Reference Desk, call 508-457-2555 x. 7, or register here by clicking the button.

Come join us in the Children's Room to read to a dog, or just meet a dog who will be happy to meet you! Teams made of trained therapy dogs and their handlers from Companion Animal Program of Cape Cod will be at the library, ready to listen to new readers read aloud. Studies show that a nonjudgemental listener, like a dog, can help a young child overcome a fear of reading aloud. And personal experience has shown us that these dogs can help individuals who are uneasy around dogs to relax and enjoy the feeling of fur under your fingers. All ages welcome!
