DIY Hoodie Costume for Teens

Transform your hooded sweatshirt into a Halloween costume! Bring a hoodie that's a good base color for your idea, and then take a couple hours and let your imagination loose with felt, thread, scissors and enough glue to hold it all together. Your costume can be whatever your imagination wants. A hoodie can transform you into an elf, zombie, ear of corn, nun, werewolf, nearly any animal or whatever appeals to you. You stand a chance of staying warm on Halloween night and being able to peel it off and pretend you saw no such creature when you feel like it.

Grades 6-12. Registration is required.

Daytimers Book Group

Join us on Tuesday October 17th at 1:30pm, in Room 228 for the Daytimers' Book Group’s discussion of Other Birds by Sarah Addison Allen.

Description: Between the real and the imaginary, there are stories that take flight in the most extraordinary ways. Right off the coast of South Carolina, on Mallow Island, The Dellawisp sits--a stunning cobblestone building shaped like a horseshoe and named after the tiny turquoise birds who, alongside its human tenants, inhabit an air of magical secrecy. When Zoey comes to claim her deceased mother's apartment on Mallow Island, she meets her quirky and secretive neighbors, including a girl on the run, two estranged middle-aged sisters, a lonely chef, a legendary writer, and three ghosts. Each with their own story. Each with their own longings. Each whose ending isn't written yet.”

Copies of the book are available in regular print, large print and audiobook on CD, so stop by the library to pick up a physical copy.  It is also available as an eBook through Overdrive / Libby.

If you have any questions, contact the Grafton Public Library at info@graftonlibrary.org

Young Scientists

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Join STEM Beginnings for a 6-week series for children, ages 3-6. Children will learn STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) concepts through hands-on activities, story time and simple experiments. Please register with STEM Beginnings directly. (Link coming soon!) Grafton Public Library will not be registering attendees for this class.

  • All children, ages 3-6, must be registered (including siblings) to attend in-person classes.
  • Parents/caregivers are expected to supervise and help their child during class but may leave the room to care for an infant/busy toddler.
  • Materials for the lesson will be provided by STEM Beginnings for registered children, ages 3-6, however, if extra materials are available due to absences, the teacher may share materials with siblings.
  • Siblings are welcome to watch and listen to the story but we ask that parents/caregivers help to manage disruptive behavior.
  • Space is limited to 12 children, ages 3-6. Please email or call the librarian if you can no longer attend so that a family on the waitlist can be contacted.
  • Hot beverages are not allowed due to child safety regulations from the Department of Early Education and Care, the YFCP funding source.
  • Please limit cell phone use and talking to one another while the STEM Beginnings teacher is presenting the lesson.
  • Adults and children should not attend class if not feeling well to avoid spreading illness to others. If your child has a cold with a thick runny nose or other contagious illnesses, we ask that he/she remain at home for as long as the symptoms exist. If a child has a fever, please wait 24 hours after the fever to attend class.


Thank you for your support of YFCP and STEM Beginnings Program! 

The “Young Scientists” series is sponsored by the YMCA Family & Community Partnership (YFCP), a Massachusetts Coordinated Family & Community Engagement (CFCE) Grant program funded by the Department of Early Education & Care and awarded to the YMCA of Central Massachusetts.

Please note that program attendees must also comply with the Library's Unattended Child Policy:

Reads Well with Others Book Group

Join us on Monday October 30th at 7:30pm, in Room 228 for the "Reads Well with Others" Book Group’s discussion of Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune.

Description: “A Man Called Ove meets The Good Place in Under the Whispering Door, a delightful queer love story from TJ Klune, author of the New York Times and USA Today bestseller The House in the Cerulean Sea. When a reaper comes to collect Wallace from his own funeral, Wallace begins to suspect he might be dead. And when Hugo, the owner of a peculiar tea shop, promises to help him cross over, Wallace decides he's definitely dead. But even in death he's not ready to abandon the life he barely lived, so when Wallace is given one week to cross over, he sets about living a lifetime in seven days. Hilarious, haunting, and kind, Under the Whispering Door is an uplifting story about a life spent at the office and a death spent building a home."

Copies of the books are available in regular print and as a Playaway audiobook, so stop by the Library to pick up a physical copy. It is also available as an eBook and eAudio through Libby.

Vampires in Early New England Lecture - Free

Vampires in Early New England? – Myths and Realities of the Undead

Join us for a lecture by Thomas Kelleher, Historian and Curator of Mechanical Arts of Old Sturbridge Village.

Did some rural Yankees 200 years ago believe in vampires? It might not be what you expect! Why did scores of early New Englanders open the graves of their sweethearts, sons, daughters, husbands and wives? What were they looking for? What did they do with the dead bodies of their loved ones? What terror drove them to these extremes? What about Count Dracula? This talk illustrated with PowerPoint slides answers these questions and more.

  • All children, ages 3-6, must be registered (including siblings) to attend in-person classes.
  • Parents/caregivers are expected to supervise and help their child during class but may leave the room to care for an infant/busy toddler.
  • Materials for the lesson will be provided by STEM Beginnings for registered children, ages 3-6, however, if extra materials are available due to absences, the teacher may share materials with siblings.
  • Siblings are welcome to watch and listen to the story but we ask that parents/caregivers help to manage disruptive behavior.

  • Please limit cell phone use and talking to one another while the STEM Beginnings teacher is presenting the lesson.

If a child has a fever, please wait 24 hours after the fever to attend class.
