It is often difficult to visualize and comprehend how our ancestors lived. Hands-on participation in the creation of items using ancient technologies brings the whole topic to life and gives the participants a base upon which to build an understanding of where we come from. Come and learn string, bead, and rope making. Play catch, rope and dice games! Gain insights into just how much creativity and intelligence was required to survive in ancient times!
For children ages 6+ accompanied by a caregiver. Space is limited; call us at (415)485-3322 to register. This program will include a break for lunch. Please bring your own lunch!

A High School Poetry Workshop designed by Marin County Poet Laureate Rebecca Foust
The workshop is open to all students ages 15 – 19. Bring 10 copies of one one-page original poem to each session or come early enough to print out copies at the library before class. The workshops will be conducted by trained mentors who will open each session with a presentation and discussion of an element of poetic craft as exemplified in both a poem from the traditional canon and a contemporary poem. The latter part of each session will be devoted to an MFA-style workshop examination and discussion of student poems. For more information, please contact William Calhoun at: william.calhoun@cityofsanrafael.org or Rebecca Foust at: foustrebecca@gmail.com
