MARION — Celebrate diversity through art, pet alpacas and more at the Elizabeth Taber Library in October.

Collaborative gallery with Tri-Town Against Racism
The Elizabeth Taber Library is teaming with local organization Tri-Town Against Racism to celebrate diversity through art. Pick up a free art canvas at the ETL, create a work of art that represents you, your heritage, or your experiences growing up in the tri-town, and return it to the library to be displayed in our pop-up gallery throughout the fall. Find free art supplies at the library on Thursday evenings.

Pine Meadows returns
The Pine Meadows Children’s zoo will return to the library on Oct. 8 at 4 p.m. for a petting zoo. The event will focus on how people and animals can work together.

Halloween duck hunt
On Oct. 15 at 4 p.m., there will be a number of halloween-themed ducks hiding in and around the library. Find one and take a photo in the Halloween photo booth. Find the “Golden Ducky” to win a Halloween prize pack.

Fall story time
Every Tuesday and Thursday at 10:30 a.m., children are invited to story time in front of the library with Children's Librarian Ms. Heather. After storytime, lawn games are available for kids. Weather permitting.
