Week Calendar

Build your own library scene out of this charming cardstock kit! Cut, glue, and personalize it to make the library of your dreams. Display it on your desk or bookshelf when you're done.

Art is for anyone at any age! Help the littlest artists in your life explore drawing, painting, and so much more as we create beautiful, messy art.

Join us every week for Tots Thursdays! Each week is filled with exciting activities designed to stimulate your child’s development while having a blast! Every month, we rotate through four themes:

Come and Enjoy Learning How to Make an Awesome Origami Tiger! 

This will be a classroom setting with step-by-step instructions.

Interested in knitting or learning how to knit?

Bring your own quilting or other project and get a chance to work on it with like-minded people. They'll even offer advice if asked. Be sure to check out a quilting book from our collection!

Join us at the Northwest Library for an introductory woodcarving workshop designed for adults with no prior experience.

Do you love painting, drawing, sculpting, or just being creative? Then join us on the 2nd Friday of every month at 2PM to learn about a new art method or material!

 If you've ever wanted to try needlepoint or embroidery but have been too scared to start, these bargello (pronounced bar-jello) bookmarks are the perfect starting point for you.

Calling all young creators! Join us for a colorful, fizzy adventure where science meets art. In this hands-on program, kids will learn how to make their very own Rainbow Bath Bombs.

Get creative and spread some color! Join us for a chill afternoon of rock painting—make your own masterpiece, design kindness rocks to hide around town, or just paint for fun. We’ll provide the rocks, paints, and supplies—you bring the ideas!

Are you an adult who enjoys coloring? Have a nice social visit with other adults and bring your coloring supplies! We will also have some coloring sheets and art supplies available. 

Calling all junior librarians! Learn the Dewey Decimal System, explore our databases, talk about new books, create library displays, and help us decorate the children's area of the library. 

2nd Monday of every month at 4PM

Join us every other Monday for an array of after-school activities. School-aged children and teens only!

Join us for Imagine Lab at the Belle Isle Library! Each week, kids in Kindergarten through 5th grade will take part in a new activity designed to spark creativity and encourage learning.

Gather with other teens in an open and welcoming after-school space where everyone is free to be who they are. We will share experiences and do fun activities including small crafts.

Join us for a different STEAM activity each Tuesday! All ages welcome!

Enjoy a tasty meal provided by the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma, then get creative with exciting Arts & Crafts. Each week brings a new activity, so there's always something fun to do while spending time with friends.

Hang out at the library and make art. There will be new prompts and media to use each week. All supplies will be provided. 

This is a teen program open to ages 12-17.

Teens, join us and create a piece of art to hang on your wall! Use our supplies, or bring something of your own you'd like to immortalize in an 5" x 7" shadow box. Participants will leave with a finished shadow box display.

Join us on Thursdays in the Makerspace for a quick crafternoon! Each Thursday, guests will have the opportunity to complete a quick craft using the equipment in the MLS Studio.

Some of us go to the fair just for the food! We will be creating miniature versions of our fair favorites. Using clay, pastels, and paper, learn to make teeny version of your big favorites. No experience necessary, all material supplied.

Write your own personal Constitution on recycled paper you make yourself! Create your own paper out of scraps, and write a constitution for yourself based on the USA's Constitution. 

Bring your own project and materials and knit, crochet, or sew your way through the afternoon with members of the community who share your enthusiasm for crafts. All types of fiber arts welcome!

Get creative and cozy with our No-Sew Pop-Tart Pillow workshop! Perfect for teens and tweens, this fun craft program lets you design and assemble your own Pop-Tart-inspired pillow —no sewing required. All materials provided.

Whether you've never wielded a paintbrush before or you're an accomplished artist already, join us to learn about a new artist each month and complete a project based on their work.
