What's Happening at Winchester Public Library in July?

Wondering what activities and programs are going on at Winchester Public Library in July? If so, we've got you covered.

Aerial Photography

For the entire month, photographer Albert Levin's aerial images snapped on commercial flights will be on display at the library, according to the library's July 4 newsletter.

"Most of us don’t have access to the special chartered flights and equipment used by professional aerial photographers. But all of us fly from time to time," Blevin said in a statement posted on the library website. "I was curious to experiment by taking pictures through the windows of ordinary commercial flights. The challenges are obvious: the vibration of the plane, haze or low clouds obscuring the landscape, dirty or scratched windows, and difficult camera angles. Nevertheless, I’ve been rewarded with some unusual images and would like to share them with you."   

Dinosaurs and Origami

At 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, dinosaur enthusiast Diane Edgcomb will present the history of dinosaurs, according to the newsletter. The program is geared toward children ages 6 and older, and you can sign up your child on the library website. 
 
At 3 p.m. Thursday, children ages seven-plus can create origami animals that burrow, hide and live underground, according to the newsletter. Sign up your child on the library website.
 
At 3:30 p.m. July 15, children ages 6-plus can go to the library to learn how to decorate dino-mite cookies, according to the newsletter. You can sign up online or in the Children's Room.
