As February unfolds, the Mattapoisett Free Public Library is thrilled to announce an array of engaging events tailored exclusively for teenagers and beyond.

Gear up for an adventure on Saturday, February 10 at 1pm, as we unveil “Dungeon Master 101: A Dungeon Master Training.” Delve into the intricacies of crafting immersive Dungeons & Dragons campaigns with a seasoned expert. From mastering the art of scenario creation to adeptly managing nonplayer characters, participants will glean invaluable insights honed over decades of gameplay. This enriching program promises an epic journey into the realms of imagination. No registration is required; simply bring your enthusiasm and embark on this epic quest.
Mark your calendars for Tuesday, February 13 at 3:30 pm, to join cartoonist Cara Bean for Doodle and Tranquility Workshop. In this hands-on, visual thinking, mindfulness workshop, Cara will walk participants through a series of creative exercises intended to lessen anxiety, build confidence, and grow creativity. Together, you’ll go over the basics of communicative drawing (stick figures allowed) and develop the skills needed to doodle as a form of play and problem-solving. No prior art experience is required. Recommended for ages 10 and up.
All programs are free and open to the public. If you have any questions, please contact Michelle Skaar at mskaar@sailsinc.org. You can also find more information on our website at MattapoisettLibrary.org.
