Evening Instructed Figure Drawing

All skill levels welcome. All media welcome

This class will present an intuitive approach to drawing the nude human figure. We will work from the model, incorporating gesture, observation and imagination to create drawings that enhance and develop your own creative style. Beginners as well as those with experience are welcome. In addition to doing exercises in class, we will look at great drawings of the past to discern the elements that make up their beauty. I will be available to offer guidance and direction as needed, and even homework if you desire.

Members: $75, Non-members: $85

On Wednesday, September 24 at 6:00 PM, the North Bend Public Library is partnering with speech-language pathologist Coletta Manske, M.A., CCC-SLP, to host an educational event on augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices. AAC devices are tools that help individuals fully meet their communication needs when natural speech is difficult. They play a vital role for many people with complex communication challenges, supporting them in achieving their goals and engaging more fully with the world around them.

During this free community event, attendees will learn:
• An introduction to AAC devices and how they support communication
• Practical strategies to support individuals using AAC devices
• Live demonstrations of AAC programs and devices

At the end of the program, speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and speech-language pathology assistants (SLPAs) will be available to answer questions and demonstrate devices. This program is designed for parents, teachers, support staff, outpatient therapists, school-based SLPs, and anyone who works with or cares for people with complex communication needs.

Wednesday September 24th 6:15 to 8 pm
If you’re like us, you love reading, but it can be hard to carve out the time. So make a date with your book and surround yourself with other readers at our Bloomsbury Reading Hour. Come discover the joy of reading in community.
Bring your current read (or find something new on our shelves), grab a cozy seat, and we’ll all spend a quiet hour reading together. No discussion, no pressure — just a calm little pocket of time to enjoy your book, in good company. Come solo or bring a friend. We will provide some wine and beer for purchase, or cookies and milk if that’s more your speed.
Read. Alone. Together.
We can’t wait to read with you!
