Grade 7-12: Create a beautiful, layered sand art in a bottle that represents you and/or your home to wear or use as a decoration!

We’ll explore how the Earth tells its story through the layers found in rocks and sediment, and then connect that idea to the layers that make us who we are. Then you’ll get creative by making your own layered sand art in a bottle that represents your experiences, memories, and where you’ve come from. It’s hands-on, personal, and fun, and all supplies are provided!

This program is intended for teens. Space is limited; register in advance to reserve your spot and receive reminders. Registration will guarantee your seat until the event begins. Accessibility needs? Please contact ask@acpl.info as soon as possible - we’d love to help.

Summer Learning brings amazing events, creative programming, and fantastic prizes to everyone! Get started at https://www.acpl.lib.in.us/readingprograms. Summer Learning is generously funded by the Foellinger Foundation, Friends of the Allen County Public Library and the Allen County Public Library Foundation.
