Creative Studio project
Starting Tuesday, January 31, 2023, adults can enjoy seven weeks of different art experiences with professional instructors: drawing basics, acrylic painting, and watercolor painting. No artistic skill required, and all supplies are provided at no cost. Pre-registration is recommended, as workshops are limited to 10 adults per session. Sign up in person or call your local library.
The Creative Studio project is supported in whole or in part by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA), administered in California by the State Librarian.
Moreno Valley Public Library Now Has Zip Books
The innovative Zip Books Program provides Moreno Valley Public Library cardholders with speedy access to books that are not available in library collections. A patron requests a print book or audiobook, and the Library purchases it from Amazon. The book is then shipped directly to the patron’s home at no charge.
