Escape the Puzzle Room at the Public Library
The Judy B. McDonald Public Library invites ages 10 and up to a Escape the Puzzle Room on Friday, August 12th at 6:00 p.m. The program proposes the question, “What if you were locked in the library with only your wits to help you find your way out?” Participants will navigate a series of puzzles and clues to obtain their freedom in this ultimate escape room. “Escape Rooms have really taken off as a form of entertainment in major cities around the world,” says Crystal Hicks, assistant library director. “Our patrons love puzzles and challenges, so we thought it would be a natural fit.” Participants may call 936-559-2970 to register. Summer events at the library are wrapping up with the End of Summer Bash on August 19th at 6:00 p.m.

The Judy B. McDonald Public Library invites ages 10 and up to a Makerspace workshop on Monday, August 8th at 5:30 p.m. Participants will design and construct a working robot from motors, sensors and basic household objects.

The Judy B. McDonald Public Library is thrilled to continue and expand the Makerspace program for tweens and teens. Makers are a collaborative community of all ages who share a passion for making things and who are engaged in experimentation, innovation and creativity. The Public Library’s Makerspace merges DIY, craft, art, electronics, programming, math, science and engineering into projects for both young people and their mentors. The goal is to support and grow the Maker movement in the local community through experimental play and hands-on creativity. Look for the new space in the library!
