Embark on a fascinating journey as we step into another time period, delving into cultures and events through the lens of literature.

Before our meeting, we invite you to select and read a book of your choice, set in the 1400-1500’s, the era known as The Renaissance. This unique approach allows us to discuss the books we've read and gain insights into what it would have been like to have lived during The Renaissance. To add a touch of creativity, we'll also be crafting something inspired by the chosen time period. This month we will be creating Renaissance inspired pet portraits.We value your participation and look forward to your unique perspectives.

This program is intended for youth ages 12-18, younger participants may have difficulty with the projects and/or concepts.

Registration is required.
