We’ve been getting lots of requests for more art programs, and we heard you! On Aug. 30 @ 1:30 p.m., my colleague Rae will be hosting “Drawing a Manga Warrior” at the Urbana Regional Library.

Manga is a deeply personal and flexible form of artistic expression, driven by the creator’s unique vision. In this program, you’ll learn how to turn basic shapes into a dynamic figure. And all you need is pen and paper, which we’ll supply of course!

You’ll learn the step by step process from Orion Zangara (check out his work here: http://www.orionzangaraart.com/). For this program, we’ll be creating unique pieces inspired by the style of One Piece, created by Eiichiro Oda.

Age is 13+

The end of summer is fast approaching, and, for some of you out in the community, college application deadlines are going to be here sooner than you know it! We've got your back at the library, and we're here to support you through what can be a stressful process. During the month of September, Urbana Regional Library (9020 Amelung Street), will be hosting a series of college preparedness programs:

• Roadmap to College Success (Sep. 17) is targeted towards those who want an overview of the whole process from preparation through starting college. https://frederick.librarycalendar.com/event/college-success or https://www.facebook.com/share/1L4wHPynYu/
• What You Need to Know (Sep. 21) is geared for prospective students and families who want practical information about applications, financial aid, and scholarships. https://frederick.librarycalendar.com/event/what-you-need-to-know or https://www.facebook.com/share/1Hkx8LUUfv/?mibextid=wwXIfr
• Write Right (Sep. 24) is best for anyone who wants focused, hands-on help with their college essays. https://frederick.librarycalendar.com/event/write-right or https://www.facebook.com/share/1bCMKkHMCh/

Feel free to attend all three programs or attend only those you feel you need. Either way, we're here to help you navigate and tackle all things college-related!

Tarot 101 was a huge success last week! We learned about the history & meaning of the cards and then paired off to do some simple readings.

This week, we'll be continuing with Tarot 102, where we'll learn more about how to get your creativity and intuition flowing when it comes to tarot! Even if you didn't attend last week, you are more than welcome to attend this week!

Decks will be provided or you may feel free to bring your own.

Hi everyone!

I’m delighted to let you know that Urbana Regional Library’s adult programs for the summer have been finalized! We’ve got some really amazing programs coming up.

The first graphic highlights the programs I’m personally hosting, and the second and third graphics feature additional adult programs from my wonderful colleagues as well. Come check out what we’ve got planned this summer! Let me know if you have any questions!

Frederick locals, with gardening season getting underway, if you are looking for something to do this week, I am hosting a program this Thursday evening at the Urbana Regional Library called Intro to Soil: A Community Workshop.

This beginner-friendly session is led by Master Gardener Greg Susla from the UMD Extension. You will learn how soil forms, how it functions, and how to better understand what is in your own yard or garden. We’ll be conducting a soil lab so bring your own sample!

It is a good fit if you enjoy gardening, want to get more out of the soil you already have, or are simply curious about how soil works.

Location: Urbana Regional Library (9020 Amelung St, Frederick, MD 21704)

Date: Thursday, April 30

Time: 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
