Stouffville Library is hosting a slate of April programs and events aimed at bringing residents together through film, hands-on learning, and creative exploration.
The month’s lineup features a mix of cultural programming and skill-building workshops for adults and teens, reflecting the Library’s continued push to deliver interactive and community-focused offerings.
In recognition of National Canadian Film Day, the Library will present a free screening of BlackBerry on April 15. The drop-in event, running from 6:15 to 8:30 p.m. in the Adult Program Room, chronicles the Canadian tech company that helped define early smartphone innovation before being overtaken by competitors in Silicon Valley.
Seats are still available for tomorrow’s free Teen Clay Pot & Mason Jar Creations session, and a drop-in Tech Help session on April 11 will offer a chance for residents to ask questions and learn more about their personal devices.
Adult participants can also explore plant design and care through a DIY Terrarium workshop on April 21 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Attendees will learn layering techniques and maintenance basics while creating their own enclosed garden to take home.
Sustainability will also be a focus in the Library’s Makerspace on April 22, where a Machine Sewing: Upcycled Denim Handbag workshop will run from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Open to those aged 16 and older, the session will guide participants through repurposing old denim into a reusable tote.
The end of the month includes a free seed starting workshop with Master Gardener Maria Shtemberg on April 27 and a World Autism Awareness Celebration on April 28.
“These programs highlight the library’s evolving role as a hub for creativity, innovation, and community engagement,” Library spokesperson Babin Sakthithasan said in comments to Bullet Point News, adding that they are designed to inspire connection and lifelong learning.
More information, including registration details when necessary, is available through the Stouffville Library website.
