Visual Art Club
This group will meet on the second Saturday of each month and is intended for adults.
Calling all visual artists to the Freedom Public Library!
Join fellow artists for a relaxed and inspiring creative session on Saturday, April 12.
This program will start at 10:30am, stay as long as you'd like, but wrap up by 1:00pm.
Bring your own materials and work on your current project, or challenge yourself with a new still life—each session will feature a different arrangement to sketch.
Whether you're a seasoned artist or just getting back into creative expression, this is a welcoming space to create and connect with others who share your passion for art.
Blackout & Erasure Poetry Drop-In Program
Celebrate National Poetry Month & World Art Day!
We’re celebrating creativity with a Blackout Poetry drop-in program in honor of World Art Day!
"Erasure poetry, also known as blackout poetry, is a form of found poetry wherein a poet takes an existing text and erases, blacks out, or otherwise obscures a large portion of the text, creating a wholly new work from what remainst" as noted by poets.org.
Drop in anytime between 2:00-7:00pm on Tuesday, April 15 to create your own blackout poem using provided materials.
Stay as long as you like, experiment with words and design, and even add your masterpiece to our display.
All ages are welcome, and no prior experience is necessary!
Take your piece home or display your work at the Circulation Desk.
What to do after the trails close?
Visit the Library and check out our collection of games and activities for all ages.
We have a large inventory of puzzles, ranging from 6-piece puzzles for preschoolers to challenging 1,000-piece puzzles for the dedicated crowd.
Browse our collection of board games that includes classics like Yahtzee, Pictionary and memory games, to the new Wicked game where all players try to win against Oz.
We have new tactile and learning games for preschoolers, such as felt Nursery Rhyme Felt Sets, or Shape Matching Boards that make simple designs on templates using pre-cut shapes such as squares, triangles, and parallelograms.
Our new Story Dream Machine develops beginning reading skills as children see and hear words and can read along with the narrator as the words and images shine brightly on the wall. The kit includes 6 stories and spare batteries.
For older kids we have Grab ‘n Go kits of LEGO bins with an accompanying book of 365 Things to Do With LEGO Bricks.
The Library has a DVD Player which includes a display so there is no need to connect to a computer. Our DVD collection includes movies for preschoolers, family favorites, popular TV series, selections from the BBC, fitness videos, and documentaries.
Borrow the Tabletop Ping Pong set, or Pickleball Racquets and the accompanying guide for all player levels.
Use our telescope! On chilly nights, put the telescope outside for 30 minutes before using to allow condensation on the lenses to dissipate.
