In this 2 part workshop led by Biana Depuis of the Broken Mold Studio we will be creating a project inspired by poetry. You must attend both sessions to complete the project. We will make a hand built vessel out of clay, and experience different hand building techniques to create a beautiful work of art.
This project is made possible with funds from the Decentralization Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and administered by The Arts Center of the Capital Region.

Join us at our Lansingburgh Branch, dressed for bed, and enjoy an evening of stories, songs, and crafts! Ages 0-5.

For all interested teens, come play video games, have snacks and hang out!

This reading and discussion series has explored the inception, inculcation, and function of race in American society.  We chose this topic to improve our understanding of systematic, and social, inclusion and exclusion in American systems. Our goal is to tease out the implicit ways race serves as a real, and imagined, force in the lives of all Americans. This session will continue to explore racial dynamics in America, this time centering on what ways we can work within our communities to alter the role of race as a means of exclusion. The first book the group will read is So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo. Copies of the book are available at the check out desk. Please have this book read for the first session on Tuesday, March 3rd.
