August and September events planned at OPL

Stop by Orrville Public Library during August to enjoy the “Color Our World” art show. Budding artists of all ages put their creativity to work this summer and are sharing their items with the community. Twenty-two items are currently on display throughout the main floor of the library.

The next meeting of Orrville Public Library’s Youth Book Club, for those in grades 4-6, will be held at 4 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 28. The book to read this month is “A Wolf Called Fire” by Rosanne Parry. Books will be available at the Children’s Desk. Register and plan to attend the meeting to share thoughts about the book. Registration begins Aug. 14 and can be completed on the website calendar, www.orrville.lib.oh.us, or by contacting the Children’s Department at 330-683-1065.

Orrville Public Library’s Cookbook Club selection for August is “Feeding Humanity, Feeding Hope.” This is World Central Kitchen’s first cookbook and was created from the many places the Relief Team has cooked following disasters. Each chapter reflects a value of the organization. The cookbook includes food that can be eaten on the go, as well as comforting soups and stews. It was chosen as Best Cookbook of the Year by Food Network, The Boston Globe, NPR, Los Angeles Times, Epicurious and Wired. Check out a copy of the cookbook, then prepare a dish or two to share with others, potluck style. The Cookbook Club will meet at 6 p.m. Monday, Aug. 25. No registration is needed.

Orrville Public Library’s Friday, Sept. 5, Crafternoon will feature block stamp printing. Kids in grades 3-6 are invited to this free 4 p.m. event. Registration is required and begins Friday, Aug. 22. Register by clicking on the event on the website calendar or by contacting the Children’s Department.

Those with a brown thumb or who simply like low-maintenance plants can attend Orrville Public Library’s first fall session of Coffee & Crafts to make a plant that cannot be killed. Craft wire and a variety of beads will be used to make a succulent that can then be placed in a pot. All supplies will be provided. This free session will be held at 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 4, and is for those 16 and older. Registration begins Aug. 21 and can be completed by clicking on the event on the website calendar or by contacting the Information Desk at 330-683-1065.
