Learn movie makeup, make crafts with library events

Oct 1, 2022

MATTAPOISETT – October consists of a full calendar of events at the Mattapoisett Free Public Library. From monster makeup to Dungeons and Dragons, the program offerings are spook-tacular.

Ever wonder what it takes to turn yourself into a realistic zombie? Or how to make a real gross looking flesh wound? Here's your opportunity to find out. On Tuesday, Oct. 18 at 6 p.m., professional makeup artists from Decimated Designs are visiting the library to get you ready for Halloween. You might even get your makeup done. Registration is required.

This program is supported in part by a grant from the Mattapoisett Cultural Council, a local agency that is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.

The library also has several recurring events for teens to take part in.

Craft Tuesday takes place every Tuesday starting at 3 p.m. It provides teens an opportunity to express themselves through a different simple craft each week. No registration required. Recommended for ages 10 and up.

The Teen Advisory Board meets the second Tuesday of the month and will be meeting this month on Tuesday, Oct. 11 at 4 p.m. They will be discussing upcoming programs. New members are always welcome.
