Join us for Storytime every Wednesday from 11am to 11:45am! Throughout the month of October, we will be reading about everything from pumpkins, to monster trucks, and more!
Join us for games, candy, a craft, costume parade, and more on October 24th from 11am to 1pm! All ages are welcome and registration is not necessary! We’re going to have a spooktacular time!
Show off your creativity at Patmos Library’s Annual Pumpkin Decorating Contest! Participants can bring their decorated pumpkins to the library October 21–22 to enter the contest. Prizes will be awarded in three age categories: Kids (ages 3–10), Teens (ages 11–17), and Adults. Once the pumpkins are on display, patrons can vote for their favorite. Votes will be tallied Wednesday, October 28
Bad Art Night — Where talent is optional and chaos is inevitable! Teens ages 10–18 are invited to Patmos Library for a night of wildly questionable creativity on Monday, September October 19th, from 6–7:30 p.m. The goal is simple: make the worst art possible! Participants will receive random mystery supplies and ridiculous creative prompts and will have zero pressure to create anything “good.” No artistic skills are required, no judgment is allowed, and the uglier the art, the better! There may even be some completely unofficial awards along the way. Come ready to get creative, have fun, and embrace your inner terrible artist! No registration necessary!
Calling all LEGO builders! Join us for our brand-new LEGO Club, meeting the first Monday of each month from 6–7:30 p.m., beginning Monday, October 5. We’re working on building our own collection of LEGO bricks for everyone to use and enjoy. Until then, please bring one gallon-sized bag of your own LEGO bricks per person to each club meeting. At the beginning of each meeting, participants will receive fun, random challenges and building prompts to inspire their creations. Build, experiment, get creative, and see what you can come up with!
Grab some friends and join us for the famous Patmos Hallolympics! Participants ages 10–17 will compete in a series of fast-paced, goofy, minute-to-win-it style challenges. Come ready to laugh, compete, and have fun as you put your skills to the test and see who can become the ultimate Hallolympics champion! Saturday Oct. 10th from 10:30am to 12pm – no registration necessary!
