Erwin Public Library HCPL

This is a hands-on session giving adults the opportunity to explore their artistic side -- no experience required, although old clothing may be appreciated where paint splatter may occur. Participants use stencils, acrylic paint, and plain coir doormats to create custom designs ranging from seasonal themes to minimalist patterns or free-hand expressions. All materials will be provided.

Dig into discovery at Maker Monday! Every Monday, we’ll explore a new hands-on activity inspired by our Unearth a Good Story theme. Young makers might excavate fossils, create edible “dirt cups” while learning about soil layers, experiment with earth science, or design themed crafts connected to the world beneath our feet. Join us weekly to create, experiment, and uncover something new!

In June we’re reading:
The Prison Healer
By: Lynette Noni

“Seventeen-year-old Kiva Meridan has spent the last ten years fighting for survival in the notorious death prison, Zalindov, working as the prison healer.

“When the Rebel Queen is captured, Kiva is charged with keeping the terminally ill woman alive long enough for her to undergo the Trial by Ordeal: a series of elemental challenges against the torments of air, fire, water, and earth, assigned to only the most dangerous of criminals.

“Then a coded message from Kiva’s family arrives, containing a single order: ‘Don’t let her die. We are coming.’ Aware that the Trials will kill the sickly queen, Kiva risks her own life to volunteer in her place. If she succeeds, both she and the queen will be granted their freedom.

“But no one has ever survived.

“With an incurable plague sweeping Zalindov, a mysterious new inmate fighting for Kiva’s heart, and a prison rebellion brewing, Kiva can’t escape the terrible feeling that her trials have only just begun.”
