Do you love books that make you laugh and are full of imagination and real feelings? Do you wish you had a fairy godmother named Mr. Nuggy, who answers the banana phone when you call? Or maybe you already know the Dory Fantasmagory books? Did you know a new one (the 6th!) just came out? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, or are just up for a fun afternoon, come to our Dory Fantasmagory Party where we will celebrate this fabulous character and series with crafts, snacks, readalouds, and a dancy party inspired by the most recent book! Registration encouraged, program geared for children ages 5-9, all who are interested are welcome.

Come have hot chocolate and use beautiful supplies to make garlands and paper chains to decorate the library and to bring home! Intergenerational program, all ages are welcome.

Come drop-in to this collaborative multimedia mural-making session! We will have lots of fun and engaging materials and an inspiring winter backdrop of the city for participants of all ages to add to; it will be displayed at the library afterward.

Are you interested in art, movies, or just want to try something new?  Come to the library to learn all about the art of making storyboards! A storyboard is a series of drawings that visualize what shots will be needed before the crew sets out to film.  Instead of a camera, we use pencils, paper, and our imagination to bring the words to life.  At this program, you’ll get to learn about filmmaking, get a few drawing tips, and make some storyboards of your very own.  No prior experience or skill is required!  Storyboarding is about visualizing ideas, not making brilliant works of art, so there is literally zero pressure.  Ages 10+, Registration is recommended–stop by the library, give us a call at 413-527-1031, or send us an email at youthdept@ewmlibrary.org.
