Library events are free and open-to-all. Registration provides the Library and its partners with a headcount so we can prepare accordingly. Registration, however, does not guarantee a seat, and participants are encouraged to arrive early.
Interested in a children's program? Register each child individually, under the child's name, and please indicate age.

ONLINE PROGRAM
Scribbler's Cabal/Sketch Club has resumed!
Thursdays 4-5:30 PM
Children's Librarian Dave Burbank hosts Takoma Park Maryland Library's popular drawing workshop.
A mostly unstructured self-guided 'class' kids who like to draw can hang out and work on whatever they feel like drawing. Tips and tricks can be shared as well as drawing prompts for those who 'don't know what to draw'.
Kids who feel like sharing can let their work be displayed on the document camera, and observers can offer their thoughts and inspirations based on the work that is being done.
This is not a class on how to draw but a workshop on why to draw and how to not stop drawing and never worry about if something is 'good' or 'bad' so long as you are learning.
In person at the new Takoma Park MD Library location 7505 New Hampshire Avenue (the former Salvation Army store). And on Zoom!
