Witness the exciting changes fall brings and build your ecological literacy with Fields Pond Audubon Center’s Homeschool Naturalists program! Designed for children ages 6-14, this engaging series will start as a whole mixed age group, then break into age based investigation teams to dive deeper into that week’s theme!

Together, we’ll:

Study the magic behind fall leaves,
Explore fall seed dispersal and native plant life cycles
Study the role of naturalists in identifying trends and patterns in our natural world.
Learn how the local habitat prepares for the coming winter
And more!
Each session combines outdoor exploration, guided hiking, and nature journaling to deepen your connection with the natural world.

Join us at Libby Library in OOB for a new recurring program that will let your crafty side loose! Starting this October, we’ll be hosting Crafternoons on the first and third Friday at from 1:00 – 3:00 pm! This program is designed for adult crafters.

On the first Friday of the month, we’ll be doing a guided craft with instruction to make projects and learn techniques like decoupage and scrapbooking. On the third Friday of the month, there will be no guided project. It will be time to work on your own crafty projects (bring your supplies!) in the company of other crafters!

We will also be establishing a craft swap shelf with this program, so if you’ve got leftover supplies from crafts that no longer hold your interest, you are more than welcome to bring them with you to the library for other crafters to try out!

This program is free, open to the public, and no registration is required.
