From January 4 through January 9 sign up to receive the link to nature photographer Nathaniel Child's Coast to Coast video. 

Coast to Coast is a photographic journey across North America, exploring some of the most rugged scenery and fascinating wildlife the continent has to offer. Get up close and personal with seabirds off the coast of Maine, and take a walk through an Eastern forest while getting to know some of its nocturnal residents. Then, journey across to the great Rocky Mountains and meet some wildlife that is as impressive as the surrounding scenery. The adventure continues west, wandering through forests of towering pines high in the Sierra Nevada mountains before finishing up under the giant redwoods of the Pacific coast.

Expelliarmus! Or at least that's what you'll be saying with your trusty new wand. It may not be the Ollivander tradition of letting the wand choose the wizard, but there's no denying you'll be able to make some magic with this cool DIY chopstick wand.

Registration opens Monday, January 4 for our Harry Potter Take and Make Craft. Supplies are limited so register today through Sunday, January 17 to receive pick up instructions! A hot glue gun will be needed to assemble this project.

For ages 12 - 18. Sign up today to secure your free kit, https://www.windsorlibrary.com/teens-2/register-for-a-teen-program/
