Weaving is one of the oldest forms of making things there is (in fact, the earliest evidence of weaving dates back about 27,000 years). Now you can learn how to weave with this kit! All you need at home is a pair of scissors. If you have a good time and want to work on a bigger project, the Library has larger looms that you may borrow.

Please select your pickup date on the registration form. Your kit will be available for you on the Supply Kits table outside the rear entrance from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm if you choose a weekday or from 10:00 am to noon if you choose a Saturday.

Hoopla is the Library’s service for borrowing digital movies, music, and audiobooks. Hoopla can be used on a computer, as well as most Android and iOS devices.

Once registered, you will receive an invitation to the Zoom meeting on the morning of the program. Note: hoopla is only available to Wallingford cardholders.

Join librarian Cindy Haiken to watch and discuss a popular TED talk on Zoom. Once registered, you will receive your Zoom invitation by email on the morning of the event. In October, we will watch and discuss Heidi Larson's "Rumors, Trust and Vaccines."

Why do people distrust vaccines? Anthropologist Heidi Larson explores how medical rumors originate, spread and fuel resistance to vaccines worldwide. While vaccines cannot escape the "political and social turbulence" that surrounds them, she says, the first step to stopping the spread of disease is to talk to people, listen and build trust.

With Election Day coming up, this is the perfect time to test how well you really know our country, with a laser cut USA Puzzle. The puzzle is difficult (the states are not labelled) but if you are having trouble, we included a guide to help. Need more of a challenge? Paint each state red or blue and try to predict the outcome of the 2020 Election!

Kits include most supplies and written directions. Please select your pickup date on the registration form. Your kit will be available for you on the Supply Kits table outside the rear entrance from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm if you choose a weekday or from 10:00 am to noon if you choose a Saturday.

The Internet is great. It gives us access to so much entertainment and information so easily it can be hard to imagine what we would do without it. The entertainment side of the Internet is relatively harmless but there is a dark side to using the Internet as a primary information source, something we have all heard of: fake news. Fake news is so insidious because it can look so convincing online (and there is so much of it out there). How can we tell the difference? Learn information literacy skills in this lecture-style presentation.

Once registered, you will receive an invitation to the Zoom meeting via email on the day of the event.
