Come by the Children’s Branch on Wednesday, January 8th and 22nd at 4:00 p.m. to test your skills with boats that float, cars that go and mazes to stump your friends.
Would you like to pursue a career in the film industry? Work behind the scenes directing, producing, lighting, and more.
Here is your chance to showcase your talents with a Young Adult Book Trailer Competition. We will be hosting workshops in scripting, videography, editing, and more!
Book trailers will be showcased at the end of the competition & Prizes awarded.
Registration deadline is January 31st, 2020 and is available below.
Competition is for anyone ages 13-18 and begins February 1st through April 4th, 2020.
In the spirit of yearly reflection and looking towards the future of Octavia Fellin Public Library, we invite the public to get involved in our OFPL Neighborhood Reflection Board during the month of January.
On one side, please write on a slip of paper provided what you love about OFPL–is it seeing fresh-off-the-press books? Movie screenings? Different cultural events you would not have otherwise been a part of?
On the other side, please write the things you would like to see changed or improved about the library, from the large to the small.
Once the month has wrapped up, we will transform the Reflection Board into community suggestions in order to lobby for a new library that reflects what Gallup wants, needs, and to uphold what folks absolutely love.
Register at either library during the month of January or online above for a free copy of The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts by Maxine Hong Kingston.
An exhilarating blend of autobiography and mythology, of world and self, of hot rage and cool analysis. As a girl, Kingston lives in two confounding worlds: the California to which her parents have immigrated and the China of her mother’s “talk stories.”
The fierce and wily women warriors of her mother’s tales clash jarringly with the harsh reality of female oppression out of which they come.
Get ready for some great conversations, good food and tons of fun!
