🎨 Come enjoy local art at the library! 📚

We’re excited to showcase the beautiful work of two talented local artists, Carrie Kniebes and Andrea Helmus, throughout the month!

Carrie Kniebes’ artwork features creative and colorful collage pieces, while Andrea Helmus’ beautiful watercolors capture the vivid colors and textures of the flora and landscapes of Colorado.

Stop by the library to take a look, enjoy the artwork, and support our talented local artists! Their work will be on display through the end of the month.🎨

Introduction to Improv
August 1 and 8 - 1-3 pm

Have you ever thought, "Improv isn't for me... I'm not an actor," or "I'd have to be really confident to do that"?

The truth is, improv isn't about performing or being the loudest person in the room. It's about connection.

Our Introduction to Improv workshops are designed especially for beginners. No acting experience is needed—just a willingness to try something new in a welcoming, low-pressure environment.

Whether you're looking to get more comfortable speaking in front of others, spark your creativity, or simply spend a few hours having fun, these workshops are for you.

Come and discover the fun of Improv!
