Lotus Lantern Workshop
Make a traditional Korean Lotus Lantern with step-by-step instructions from a staff member of the Korean Spirit & Culture Promotion Project! Participants must register in advance and pick up their lantern kits by Friday, December 15, 2023. The kits include everything needed to create a beautiful lotus lantern. This is a virtual program. Participants must have access an internet connection, a laptop or other device, and Zoom in order to attend the workshop. A documentary film about Korean culture will also be shown. Supplies are limited and on a first come, first served basis. The Zoom link will be emailed to registered participants prior to the event.
Tech tips
The library offers one on one tech assistance every Tuesday from 1:30pm - 3:00pm at the Mount Vernon Senior Center. These mini sessions are designed to address a single issue and last about 15 minutes. Please note that we are unable to assist with in-depth technology issues, hardware repairs, specialized software instruction, online applications, banking or financial transactions, or anything we are not qualified to give advice about.
Join a book club
The library offers three different book clubs you can join! The READ Harder Book Club is meant to encourage readers to explore settings, characters, formats, genres, and perspectives that might be outside of their reading norms. Each month members select a reading challenge to complete. The Riverwalk Book Club is a themed book discussion group that meets at the library and walks along the beautiful Skagit River. Café con libros es nuestro nuevo club de lectura en español. Compartimos nuestros pensamientos sobre el libro de mes y disfrutamos de café, pan dulce y comunidad!
