Learn about earthworms and the important role they play in our environment in Incredible Earthworms, hosted by Hands On Nature. Discover an earthworm’s anatomy and learn how it has adapted to its life underground. We will learn about how they break down living and dead material, and turn it into nutrient rich soil. Develop a new appreciation for these simple invertebrates, while learning about decomposing and soil recycling. Observe live earthworms with magnifiers! Finally, use model magic to make your very own worm to take home. Registration is optional but will guarantee you/your child's spot. Drop ins are welcome as space allows. Thank you to the Ryan P.

Fists & Fiends is a tabletop roleplaying game (like Dungeons & Dragons). Join us at the library for an epic martial arts survival horror adventure! This game is for youth grades 2-7. Registration is recommended to reserve your spot, but feel free to drop in as well. From the creator: Fists & Fiends rewrites martial arts RPG combat from the ground up. Every battle won feels like gaining a new limb, a new weapon, a new way to revise your odds in blood and breath. 6 visceral fighting styles, each steeped in real martial arts tradition and gritty flavor. 22 localized backstories, giving every fighter a past worth bleeding for. 89 distinct strikes, throws, chokes, and locks, each a weapon that can win a fight or end a life. Fast, brutal, wit-heavy combat that makes every move feel earned, risky, and unforgettable. You don’t just roll to hit. You strategize, improvise, adapt, and fight like a cornered animal. This isn’t an game where you equip a weapon. This is an RPG where you are the weapon. Sponsored by the Friends of Forbush. https://forbushlibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/fists-fiends-ttrpg-gr-2-7-5/
