The Secret Life of Puppets allows children to learn the tricks to turning sticks, cloth, string and even their own hands into lively characters. As a thorough hands-on exploration with our workshop puppets, each participant will experiment with the formula:
Imagination + Technique = Magic!
This program is designed for 1st graders and up. Participants will watch a brief demonstration of puppet characters and styles and then participate in hands on puppet exploration!
Join us for a puppet workshop to expand your imagination with Z Puppet techniques to create puppet magic!
The library provides the Wii, controllers, a batch of games, and some snacks. Teens, you just need to show up, and the gaming room is all yours! You can also bring games from home, if there is a particular title you want to share with your friends.
Kids – we’ve reached the end of the Library Summer Reading Program! That means it’s time to celebrate with games, snacks, and draw the winners of the big prizes! You don’t have to be present to win, but it certainly is more fun that way.
The library provides all the legos so that kids don’t need to worry about bringing any of their own. In fact, it might be best for kids to leave their own legos at home, so that they don’t get mixed in with everybody else’s.
The Lego club will involve special building challenges, where participants will be given a specific allotment of legos and time to build something really cool, then show off to fellow lego builders at the end.
So if you enjoy building cool lego stuff, and like to face a challenge, then this club is for you!
The Arrowhead Library System is pleased to present Sit Down with Stand Up, a free comedy writing workshop!
Have you been told you are funny? Have you ever considered becoming a stand-up comedian? Or thought of writing comedy routines? Then attend Sit Down with a Stand Up, Scott Novotny’s comedy writing program that incorporates the history and culture of stand-up comedy in Minnesota and its development since the 1970’s. Scott recently celebrated his 30th anniversary of being a full-time professional stand-up comedian. Over that time, Scott has had people laughing from coast to coast with his clean, non-offensive, very funny observations and humor.
Scott guides participants through stand-up comedy, improvisation, and comedy writing as well as live demonstrations of a comedy routine. Workshop participants will stay engaged by using Scott’s comedy writing formula for beginning writers.
Minnesotan born (Rochester) and educated (Gustavus Adolphus College), Scott has written for HBO, Dudley Rigg’s Brave New Workshop, TV commercials, Strange Brew daily comic strip, and Saturday Night Live. Let Scott help you find your comedy style in this writing workshop for teens, young adults, and adults of all ages!
This program has been paid in part or in full by Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Legacy Fund.
