Get cozy & crafty at the library at our scrapbooking program, centered on storytelling and personal archiving! Collage and craft supplies will be provided, including 8.5in x 11in or 12in x 12in cardstock paper. Participants are welcome to bring their own supplies.
Bring your stories to life with old photographs and ephemera from your personal collections! Digitize, print, and add to your scrapbook page on the spot. All prints are made on 4x6 glossy photo paper.
This workshop is geared toward adults but all are welcome. Join us & learn what resources are available at LAPL for your personal and community archiving projects.

This month’s question is not about a trivial matter, it is, what are the signs that you need to see your healthcare provider about your moles?
The ever-popular Telescope Night returns (weather permitting) to the Arroyo Seco Library Tomorrow, December 2. We will begin at 6:00 and wrap things up shortly before the library closes at 8:00. We should be able to see Saturn, Jupiter, and the Moon. Mark your calendar and plan to drop by. Do note that the event is weather dependent, so if there are clouds on the day give us a call after 3:00 for word on the status of the program.
For those who don’t know what Telescope Night is… During Telescope Night a group of local astronomers, the Sidewalk Astronomers, sets up telescopes outside the library and points them at objects of interest in the night sky. Everyone is invited to take as many turns as they’d like looking through the telescopes. The Sidewalk Astronomers are very knowledgeable and will answer your questions & chat about how they made the telescopes. Bring your questions with you.
