Get good and gooey this Saturday, August 5 at the Library's Green S.T.E.A.M. Makerspace Food Science program. The fun starts at 10:00 a.m. when we'll make slime, Silly Putty, milk clay and color changing goop and continues at noon with the movie "Oddball," based on the true story about a dog trained to protect a penguin sanctuary in Australia.

It's all free, including a complimentary bag of popcorn during the movie. Bring a blanket & lunch and spend the day in the cool air of the community room or just come for the morning or afternoon. There are only 8 spaces left for the morning program so call now to register--(209) 966-2140--or stop by the library. (No need to register for the movie.)

Upcoming Makerspace programs include:

     * rag weaving and crocheting on Saturday, August 12 and the movie “Sing” and

     * recycled toys: CD spinners and videotape wands with the movie “Trolls” on Saturday, August 19.

Space is limited and registration is required.
