Art
Altered Books Workshop
Calling all bibliophiles and artists! Join us at the library for an altered books workshop. An altered book is a mixed-media art form which encourages the artist to repurpose and redesign a book that would otherwise be discarded. This is not about defacing books, but rather about using a book as the canvas for your creativity to run wild. You will have the opportunity to display your altered book in the library's lobby during the month of September in celebration of Banned Books Week (September 22-28). All materials provided. ¡Llamando a tod@s los bibliófil@s y artistas! Acompáñanos en la biblioteca para un taller de libros modificados. Un libro modificado es una forma de arte que incorpora diversos medios de expresión, lo cual permite al artista reutilizar y rediseñar un libro que de otra manera habría sido descartado. El propósito de este taller no es la desfiguración de libros, sino más bien la utilización de libros a manera de lienzos para dar rienda suelta a la creatividad. Tendrás la oportunidad de exhibir tu libro modificado en la recepción de la biblioteca durante el mes de septiembre para celebrar la semana de los libros prohibidos (del 22 al 28 de septiembre). Todos los materiales serán provistos.

Why Adventures Are Good For You
The potential for adventure is all around us: across the world, across the country, and even in your own backyard. Near or far, adventures are an opportunity for you to interact with your surroundings in a curious, exciting way. On the surface, adventuring often leads to awesome Instagram pictures that will give you the travel bug, but adventures also offer so much more. Here are some reasons why we believe adventures are good for you, which will change the way you think about your past and upcoming travels!
Keep
You From Getting Stuck in a Rut
In a world that is super chaotic and full of responsibilities, it can be difficult to find time to explore your adventurous side. Incorporating some exciting activities into your schedule is key to achieving an ideal worklife balance. Taking time out of your life to go on adventures mixes up the daily routine that can sometimes be boring or tiring. Even if you are just reexploring your local area, getting a change of scenery rejuvenates you and is a source of inspiration. Sometimes, exploring is all you need to get out of a rut and find
some motivation. If you’re having a bad day or week, planning an adventure may just be the mood booster you’re needing right now. The fun you experience while adventuring is more than just a momentary escape from life’s responsibilities, it gives you a zest for life that sticks with you!
Expand Your Mind
While it may sound cliche, going on an adventure really does expand your mind. Once you decide to let the adventures begin, you become more adaptable and open in new environments. Whether it’s tasting a funky new dish or going zip lining through a jungle, small and large adventurous acts lead to personal growth. You’ll become eager to try new things, without letting fear or doubt hold you back. Adventuring not only expands your mind by building up your bravery, but is also an opportunity to grow and learn. New environments and cultures are packed full of meaningful life lessons that you might not be exposed to in your everyday life. Adventures expand the way we see and interact with the world. Not to mention you gain the added bonus of
collecting different perspectives on life like you would souvenirs! Experiencing the world through a new adventure is like getting a new lens for your camera, or if you’re not a camera enthusiast, it’s like getting a brand new pair of glasses. Your perspectives will broaden and shift, which is one of the greatest gifts of adventuring!
Allow You to Connect with Others
When you take the leap and start exploring, you’re bound to encounter fellow adventurers along the way. Being a part of a community that values the joy in adventuring is inspiring and incredibly uplifting. Itching to try out bungee jumping, but feeling a little apprehensive? Wanting to tackle hiking a large peak, but not keen on doing it alone? Having other adventurous friends means you’re never alone, there will always be people motivating you to reach your travel goals. Having companions along for the ride while tackling your bucket list can make your adventures even more meaningful. Friends who are up for adventure are beneficial for fueling a curious mind and keep you inspired to get outside!
Give Your Life Some Color
While bittersweet, one of the best parts about completing an adventure is reminiscing on the rich memories you made during your travels. Memories of your adventures characterize your life and give it some color. Even after the experience is over, it will come back to you through conversations, storytelling, and even inside jokes with your travel partners! You will also have pictures you took adventuring and living your best life, that you will look back on. These pictures will bring back all the good times you had and you’ll be soaking up the nostalgia, which will motivate you to call up your friends and plan another adventure. Having that constant excitement for adventure present in your life means there’s never a dull moment. You’ll always have something around the corner to look forward to!
Adventures come in so many shapes and sizes. Your type of adventure may be trying out a new coffee shop and walking along a local beach, or it may be something as daring as going skydiving! Either way, there’s always something beneficial to glean from exploring and venturing out to try new things. So explore the endless possibilities, near or far, and carpe diem! And if you feel you’re lacking some muchneeded adventure in your life, why not check out one of our Have Fun Do Good experiences? You’ll be guaranteed to get in touch with your inner adventurer.

10 Ideas to Get You and Your Child Exploring Outdoors
by Donna Satterlee, Grace Cormons, and Matt Cormons
1. Go for a nature scavenger hunt.
Find something that:
• Is a certain color
• Is dry, wet, shiny, or pretty
• Is tiny or huge
• The wind blows
• Crawls
• Has no legs, four legs, or six legs
• Or make up your own ideas!
2. Put a twist on your scavenger hunt:
Find three flowers that are different. Smell the flowers. Close your eyes and see if you can identify the flowers by smell.
Find a fuzzy leaf. Find a leaf that releases an aroma when crushed, such as sage.
Try finding things in categories, such as items with bark, items that are high, or items with branches.
3. Observe and sketch.
Examine items carefully and draw what you see. For example, find flowers of different colors and point out the petals and other parts. Or find a variety of leaves and observe the different shapes, colors, textures, and veins. You and your child can imagine you are scientists, observing and documenting what you see.
4. Follow an ant trail.
Look up and look down, look all around, and feel free to crawl on the ground. Place a small piece of food nearby and watch what happens.
5. Observe a tree throughout the seasons.
Watch for leaf and flower buds bursting in the spring, insects buzzing in the summer, and leaves changing colors in the fall. During all seasons, watch for visitors to the tree—birds and small animals looking for food or a resting place.
6. Find nature in surprising places.
Look for places to explore near where you live. Nature can hide in the cracks of a sidewalk, under the stairs, in abandoned lots, or on the edges of manicured lawns. Don’t worry if you don’t live near an open field, a forest, a desert, or a seashore.
7. Press flowers and leaves.
Find flowers and let them dry, pressed between the pages of a heavy book. Once they are dry, use them to make crafts. For example, put clear contact paper over the flowers to make a placemat. In the fall, try the same activity with leaves. Find orange, yellow, purple, red, or
Reprinted from naeyc.org/our-work/ families/ideas-exploring-outdoors
brown leaves. Find a dry leaf and crunch it!
8. Explore holes and mud.
In an out-of-the-way corner, dig a hole and pour water in it to see what happens. Ask your child where she thinks the water goes. Play with the mud, squish it between your toes, and jump over or in the hole. When you are done, fill the hole with dirt again, and check it later to see what’s growing there.
9. Explore seeds.
Find some weeds! How are their seeds dispersed? Do the seeds cling to your clothes, are they carried by the wind, or are they flung when the seedpods are touched? Ask your child what he discovered during this investigation.
10. Collect conservatively.
Discuss collecting with your child. If the ground is carpeted with acorns or flowers, it’s probably okay to take one unless it’s on a refuge where collecting is prohibited. Examine something for a few hours and then let it go again. Keep fireflies in a jar and release them the next morning. Transfer fish, turtles, or frogs to an aquarium for a night. Some fish will survive in an aquarium if you transfer them with the same water from where you found them.
