Chamber Music Performance - Tuesday, August 3 @11 am

The Siren Duo, a viola clarinet duo, from the University of Iowa's String Residency Program will be performing on the library's front lawn. Arianna Edvenson (clarinet) and Dominique Archambeau (viola) are currently doctoral performance and pedagogy students at UI. Inspired by the idea of the captivating sounds of the mythical siren songs, they strive to bewitch their audiences with their performances as the sirens were said to do to the sailors passing them by. Bring your blankets or lawn chairs to enjoy the music, or stop for a quick listen on your way into the library.

DIY Night

Aug 10, 2021, 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM

DIY Night: August 10 at 6:30 PM – Mandala Rock Painting

If you’ve seen a Mandala, then you will recognize the memorizing geometric patterns and beautiful colors. If you haven’t seen one, it’s an amazing piece of artwork made up of geometric shapes and designs meant to symbolize the universe. It means circle or completion in Sanskrit. Often, many people use Mandalas as an art therapy tool: to relax our overworked minds, help treat depression and post-traumatic stress, and as a meditative tool. Painting Mandalas on rocks has become very popular, and it’s easy for beginners to master.

Pick up your kit at the library and join us on Zoom for detailed instruction on how to make your own decorative rock.
