Splat, spin, or pour--we'll have everything kids need to get messy and make art. Be sure to dress for an artsy MESS! We'll meet outside on the south patio, weather permitting. 

This program is part of our Summer "Show Your Colors" series designed especially for elementary school age children.

Come paint some happy little rocks with hopeful, warm messages and pictures. When the tiny masterpieces are ready, it's time to share them with the world! Please leave your rocks in places where others will find them—a park, a library, a sidewalk, or even a friend's front porch. Dress for a mess (hopefully, just a little one). Color our world with happiness.

Join us for a free screening of Lust for Life (1956) (2h 2m) in the Kimball Junction Branch auditorium. The film is based on the novel of the same name by Irving Stone. After the screening, we will have an optional discussion about the novel and the film. The audiobook is available on Libby and the book is also available to check out. 

Synopsis: This lauded drama depicts the life of revered Dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh (Kirk Douglas). An intense and imaginative artist, Van Gogh possesses undeniable talent, but he is plagued by mental problems and frustrations with failure. Supported by his brother, Theo (James Donald), the tormented Van Gogh eventually leaves Holland for France, where he meets volatile fellow painter Paul Gauguin (Anthony Quinn) and struggles to find greater inspiration.
