For Manga Fans
Teens who love Japanese animation will enjoy boxes of My Hero Academia books, stickers, and other treats available through the East Hampton Library. The boxes can be checked out just like any other library item. The young-adult department can be called at 631-324-0222, extension 5, or emailed at [email protected], to reserve a box.
Also for teens at the library, there will be another Black History Month read-in tomorrow from 3 to 4 p.m. Participants can read from works by Black authors, poets, and historical figures, or simply listen in. This weekend's take-and-make craft for teens is a beachy take on a snowman sculpture, for which materials can be picked up tomorrow between 3 and 5 p.m.
On Tuesday at 4 p.m., Katharine Holabird, the author of the Angelina Ballerina series, will read her new book, "Twinkle's Fairy Pet Day," virtually as children in prekindergarten through third grade color along. Coloring pages and pencils are available for pickup at the library ahead of time.
Owl bet you want to learn about birds of prey! On Wednesday at 4 p.m., the library will host a Quogue Wildlife Refuge representative for an online presentation about owls, hawks, and other birds of prey. Sign-up information for all events is at easthamptonlibrary.org.
Draw This
A brand-new group, the East End Teen Drawing Collective, is open to all students in grades nine through 12 who want a creative challenge. The virtual event begins Monday at 5 p.m., and participants should have 10 sheets of white paper, a pencil and eraser, two different colored pens, three objects from nature, and two pictures taken by somebody else -- "one you like and one that disturbs you."
Facilitated by the Hampton Bays Library, teens can sign up by sending an email with name, grade, and home library to [email protected], or by calling 631-728-6241, extension 121.
Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!
Kids ages 2 to 5 can celebrate the birthday of the beloved author Dr. Seuss by tuning into a story time and craft session on Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. with Sag Harbor's John Jermain Memorial Library. Participants will need to have a paper plate, a disposable cup, tape or glue, and something to draw with.
The library also has an online teen trivia competition tomorrow at 6 p.m. and a gaming session on Wednesday at 4 p.m. Registration is required for all events, and links can be found on the calendar page at johnjermain.org.
