SUMMARY:Pocket Paintings
DESCRIPTION:Why does the library host art programs for adults? \nThe simple answer is to promote life-long learning and literacy. Libraries act as “classrooms for life” for all ages\, allowing adults to learn what they want to learn in a low-pressure setting.   \nEngaging with the arts promotes cognitive health and stimulates the brain. Creative activities help adults stay mentally sharp\, boost memory\, and improve focus. While those are great individual benefits\, library art programs also create a shared space for learning\, chatting\, and growing together.  \nPocket paintings is a great art program for those with beginner and advanced skills. You’ll paint on a miniature canvas with guiding prompts. You can follow along\, or make your own creative decisions along the way. At the end you’ll have a miniature masterpiece created by you that’s perfect for displaying on a desk\, bookshelf\, or side table.  We’ll chat while we paint and listen to relaxing music. It’s a great environment to relax and let loose of life’s big stressors for a couple of hours. You’ll leave feeling relaxed\, accomplished\, and full of inspiration for your next project.  \nThis is a program for adults 18+ \nRegistration is required due to our limited space.  \nPlease reach out if you have any questions. Contact us by visiting the library or get in touch with our Adult Program Coordinator by calling 620-663-5441 ext. 123 or send an email to adult.program.coordinator@hutchpl.org.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk with Jason Reynolds
DESCRIPTION:On Writing Beloved Characters and Powerful Portrayals of Resilience in Virtual Conversation with Jason Reynolds\nAward-Winning and New York Times Bestselling Author\nThursday\, April 30th 2026 at 6:00 PM \n  \n\n\nRegister and Ask Questions Here \n  \nJoin us in an online conversation with bestselling author Jason Reynolds as we discuss his latest work\, Coach\, the fifth–and last–entry in the highly popular Track series. Following the immersive stories of Ghost\, Lu\, Patina\, and Sunny\, it’s finally time for Coach to shine in his own book as we discover: Who was Coach before he became an inspiring leader? \nBefore Coach was the man who gave caring yet firm-handed guidance to Ghost\, Lu\, Patina\, and Sunny on the Defenders track team\, he was little Otie Brody\, who was obsessed with Mr. 9.99 (a.k.a. Carl Lewis) and Marty McFly from Back to the Future. Like Mr. 9.99—and his own dad—Otie is a sprinter. Sprint free or die is practically his motto. \nThen his dad\, who is always away on business trips\, comes home with a pair of Jordans. JORDANS. Fine as fine can be. Otie puts them on and feels like he can leap to the moon…maybe even leap like Mr. 9.99 when he won the Olympic gold medal in the long jump. But one morning he wakes up to find his brand-new secret weapon kicks are missing—right off his feet! And Otie just might have a fuzzy memory of his dad easing them off as Otie was sleeping\, but that can’t be right\, can it? \nUnless all the reasons for his dad’s “gone’s” are very different from what he’s been told… Because now\, not only are the Jordans missing\, but so is his father. \nRegister now to join in on the online conversation about the final installment to Jason Reynold’s Track series!  \nAbout the Author: Jason Reynolds is an award-winning and #1 New York Times bestselling author. Jason’s many books include Miles Morales: Spider Man\, the Track series (Ghost\, Patina\, Sunny\, and Lu)\, Long Way Down\, which received a Newbery Honor\, a Printz Honor\, and a Correta Scott King Honor\, and Look Both Ways\, which was a National Book Award Finalist. Recently named the National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature\, Jason has appeared on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah\, Late Night with Seth Meyers\, and CBS This Morning. He is on faculty at Lesley University\, for the Writing for Young People MFA Program and lives in Washington\, DC. You can find his ramblings at JasonWritesBooks.com.
