It's International Creativity Month, and there are endless ways be creative throughout January—or anytime at all. Your Library helps you discover your own creative possibilities.
Books
Check out a book to learn about a new hobby or craft. There's baking, beadwork, knitting, origami, woodworking and so many other creative pursuits. Not quite sure what might spark your interest? Come on in to the Library and browse the shelves; ask our staff to help you find your creative niche.
Things
We also lend other things for boosting your creativity—try our ukulele kits, toys, wireless hotspots, and a few other items. Use them in typical ways (careful with that ukulele!), or find creative new uses, like a science experiment using an energy meter, or toys for filming a stop motion animation. There are numerous possibilities.
Online Resources
Learn something new to boost your creativity with LlinkedIn Learning. LinkedIn Learning's geared mostly towards technology, with classes on photography, animation, web design, video editing, song writing, and many other options for improving your digital creativity skills.
Level Up
For hands-on digital creativity, visit Level Up at the Downtown Library. Level Up has digital creativity workstations loaded with audio, video, and developer programming software, and specialized hardware. It's also home to two audio production studios and a video production studio that you can reserve.
Library Programs
Go to a free Library program to get creative. We have creative programs for all ages that include everything from learning to write a romance novel to learning to make an animated GIF.
Community Groups
Finally, lots of outside clubs and groups doing cool creative things meet at the Library. Check out the calendar to see which groups are meeting—then find more information in Community Organizations.
With so many way to get creative, International Creativity Month could turn into a Creativity Year.
