THERE'S LOTS TO DO THIS WEEK AT THE COOS BAY PUBLIC LIBRARY FOR KIDS OF ALL AGES There’s lots to do this week at the Coos Bay Public Library for kids of all ages. On Saturday, October 3 from 2:30-3:30 p.m. school aged kids, tweens, and families are invited to Saturday Steam. Get ready to color, cut, fold, and flex! In this hands-on Saturday STEAM activity, you’ll make your own paper fidget called a flextangle (also known as a hexaflexagon or kaleidocycle). Choose from one of our fun templates or create your own design on a blank template. Then cut, fold, and assemble your creation into a fascinating fidget that twists and changes as you play with it! On Tuesday, October 6 from 3:30-4:30 p.m. Teens are invited to make a Spooky Zine. Join us to create dark and spooky zines in this workshop for teens. Participants will learn how to make basic zines using a variety of materials. All supplies are provided and no experience is necessary! For ages 13-18 October 7 from 3:30-4:30 p.m. we are Calling all Comics Lovers! We're starting a monthly club for aspiring artists and comic book lovers.
