Art Attack Challenge

Calling all tween & teen artists! Do you love making art? The Octavia Fellin Public Library (OFPL) is inviting youth artists to submit works of art in any physical medium to decorate the “Teen City” inside the Children’s Branch. Formerly known as, the young adult section.

Picturing Women Inventors Poster Exhibition

During the month of September, OFPL is displaying a series of posters that explore the inventions of 19 highly accomplished American women.

Astronauts, computer pioneers, and businesswomen join athletes, engineers, and even teenagers in this remarkable group of inventors. It highlights the distinctive motivations, challenges, and accomplishments of exceptional 20th- and 21st-century inventive women who are diverse both personally and professionally.

The exhibition illustrates the creativity of women inventors while inspiring young people (especially girls) to see themselves as future inventors.
