We know. We never thought the day would come when we’d be scrambling to sign up for summer classes. If our weird teenaged selves ever caught us, they would totally beat us up. As if.
But that’s a risk we’re willing to take for the Central Arkansas Library System’s brand new line of Community Learning Courses starting in May.
The CALS learning programs have increased 215% since 2005, according to their website. The Community Learning Courses, however, will provide more specialized and intensive learning opportunities to guests.
So what’s on the list? Right now the summer session lineup includes:
- Introduction to Herbs and Spices
- Self Defense for Women
- Alterations 101
- Starting a Small Business
- Beginner Sewing
- Knife Skills
- ZUMBA!
- Exploring Inversions: A Yoga Workshop
And it all kicks off with Community Paint Night at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 31, at Hillcrest Hall, 1501 Kavanaugh Ave. Not only will guests get a free guided painting course with artists from the area, but they’ll also get a sneak peek at the upcoming sessions.
Registration for the Community Learning Courses will open April 1 right here.
Until then, make plans for the paint night and find out more about the summer program on the CALS website and Facebook page. Your teen self will get over it.
