Kids and Teens activites at the Douglas County Library in October 2010

October 6, 2010 By Leave a Comment

For Kids and Teens

In addition to our many great book clubs for kids, we’re adding one just for boys. Rockets will be the focus of our first meeting. If you like rockets, don’t miss Rocket Works! with the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, or our family screening of “October Sky.”

Other early October programs for kids include a special Teddy Bear Picnic Storytime, perfect for a fall Saturday, and a Safety First Storytime that will address Halloween Safety. Later in the month, join the Reading Zone or get ready to LAFF! You can also stop by for some Spooky Stories or enjoy a Fall Fest for kids put on by some of our great teen volunteers.

Teens can have some fun of their own with our Photography Contest, a Murder Mystery Costume Ball, Teen Art Week (you won’t believe what you can do with duct tape, hardware, and an old sock!), and a special book club teenage girls can enjoy with their moms.

For Adults

A BizInfo class may be just what you need to breathe fresh life into your business this fall. Our classes cover everything from the Basics of Starting a Business to the dos and don’ts of marketing and learning to make more money in less time.

Every business-person knows that work-leisure balance is part of success. Unwind with a One Book, One Roxborough book talk (read Rocket Boys by Homer Hickam) or our Sci Fi-Fantasy Book Club. You can also enjoy a visit by Colorado author John Shors, a fun-filled Book Lovers’ Evening, or a grown-up Halloween treat: Vampire Night.

If the fall weather makes learning something new appropos, try Intermediate Spanish Language & Culture, or a class on improving your Driver Safety Skills or earning your U.S. Citizenship.

Music lovers can enjoy Sunday Serenade with Fennec at Highlands Ranch Library, or a solo hour with acoustic Indie Pop artist Josh Queen at Parker Library. There’s plenty to do in October at Douglas County Libraries!
