Grab your bowler hats and make way to the Grass Valley Library for our Classic Monster Showcase, every Saturday in October! Our free movie starts at 2pm and features the comedic duo Abbott & Costello, along with monsters galore.

Get ready for a delightfully spooky afternoon filled with classic laughs, creepy creatures, silly scares, and plenty of monster mayhem.

As Día de los Mu***os approaches, many people take time to honor memory, meaning, and connection. Whether you celebrate the holiday or simply feel inspired by its spirit of remembrance, this workshop offers a gentle opportunity to create a personal altar or shrine that reflects your story.

Join us at Truckee Library on Monday, October 26th from 10 AM - 12 PM for a hands-on creative session led by Dr. Kimberly Mascaro, professional artist and psychotherapist. Together, we’ll explore symbolism, intention, and playful expression as you build a unique piece to take home. You can honor a loved one, a personal milestone, a source of inspiration, or anything that feels important to you.

What to Expect:

- Warm, supportive guidance from an experienced artist/therapist
- Space for reflection, creativity, and conversation
- A beautiful handmade shrine to bring home
- All supplies provided—no art experience needed

We have space for nine participants and would love to fill the room!
Invite a friend or enjoy a peaceful, meaningful creative morning.
