Avoiding Eye Contact

Avoiding Eye Contact Class

Saturday, April 1

Learn the subtle skill of learning how to avoid eye contact - especially useful for times when your boss is trying to assign tasks, that weird neighbor lady tries to catch your attention, or the overly enthusiastic mom at the playground is talking to you. Learn how to avoid eye contact without seeming rude and how to fade into the background of any situation. This class will be followed by a Level Two Avoidance.

Thumb Wars

Thumb Wars Strategy Session

Saturday, April 1

Learn how to get your enemies under your thumb in this master class on Thumb War strategy. You will learn the best way to fake out your enemy, thumb strengthening exercises, and how to dominate in any Thumb War you may stumble upon.

Cardigans

Capital Classic Cardigan Fashion Show

Saturday, April 1

Put on your very best cardigan and join us for a cardigan fashion show featuring the latest trends in sweater wear. Cardigans with buttons are strongly encouraged, and the fashion show will be followed by a discussion of trending library fashions. Library Chic is the newest fashion craze and all are welcome to learn more about this important fad.

Pickleball

BallPickle

Saturday, April 1

Is pickleball too loud for you, with all the popping and thwacking? Try the newest version of this breakout sport, where paddles and rackets are replaced with large pickles or other pickled vegetables. Enjoy a relaxing, ergonomic sport that makes a pleasant splatting noise with every hit. PLEASE NOTE: Handwashing stations will not be available during this event. Vegetables larger than zucchini are prohibited.

Pet Rock

Bring Your Pet Rock To Life!

Saturday, April 1

Within every pet rock is a spirit just aching to come out. Participants will use markers, glitter, mystic incantations, and glue to bring new energy to their pet rock, specifically sentience. Optional sections of this program include teaching your pet rock the difference between right and wrong, teaching your pet rock proper diction, and pipe cleaner art.

Screaming

Screaming at Books You Hate

Saturday, April 1

Join us from 9 to 9:02 AM to relieve stress by verbally demeaning the books that have brought you discomfort or unhappiness in your life. Popular titles include Twilight, Catcher in the Rye, Amelia Bedelia, and 1984.

War and Peace

One wonders if "War and Peace" would have been as highly acclaimed as it was if it was published under its original name "War: What Is It Good For?"

Pride and Prejudice

I often want to criticize Jane Austen but her books madden me so that I can't conceal my frenzy from the reader. Every time I read "Pride and Prejudice" I want to dig her up and beat her over the skull with her own shin-bone.
