Calendar

Join the Walker County Master Gardeners from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Monday, September 19 in Huntsville Public Library’s Staggs Community Room for a presentation about “Free Rainwater and Other Water-Saving Tips.” With 100% of Walker County experiencing severe drought, watering your garden becomes problematic due to water restrictions and water rationing. Using a system of self-watering garden containers and harvesting rainwater for residential garden use makes sense. Texas Master Gardeners are members of the local community who have completed the Texas Master Gardener training program in Walker County. The Walker County AgriLife Extension Office offers this program to the community. The group is committed to educating others in the community about a variety of horticulture-related topics. Sign up required for this free workshop.

Bubbles, rhymes, and books--oh my! You won’t want to miss Mother Goose Lapsit at Huntsville Public Library. This program is a story time designed for children two years or under. Enjoy this early literacy initiative at 10:45 a.m. Mondays in the Rex Children’s Room. Sign-up is not required.

Come celebrate reading with us at the Huntsville Public Library! Whether you like stories about magical creatures or just relatable stories about kids like you, there will be something for you! We’ll meet once a month and focus on one book that we’ll read beforehand. Then at the book club, we’ll talk about the book and do crafts and activities related to it. This book club is best suited for ages 10 to 14. Join us at 5 p.m. on Monday, September 19. We’ll be reading the graphic novel, The Cardboard Kingdom, and making fun masks and dress up gear out of cardboard just like the kids in the book! Didn’t read the book? Come anyway!

Ever wondered how 3D printing works? Want to take a crack at making your own 3D model? Huntsville Public Library is offering two 3D printing classes during the month of September. Participants will learn to make a 3D model in Tinkercad and their model will be printed by library staff. Staff will notify participants via phone and/or email when their print is ready to pick up. A teen 3D printing class for ages 12-17 will take place in the Rex Children’s room on Monday, September 19 from 5-6 pm. A 3D printing class for patrons 18 and over will be offered in the Adult Computer Lab on Friday, September 23 from 5-6 pm.
