June's program was all about colors (think SRP "Color Our World") and using paintbrush alternatives. We used plastic baggies and q-tips to apply acrylic paint to canvas to create colorful flowers. The main part of the flower (petals) was created with a gallon-sized plastic bag: tie a knot in one corner of the bag, turn the bag inside out, inflate, and tie closed with another knot. The part where the initial knot was placed and is now on the inside becomes the flower center. Apply the paint color of your choosing to the baggie area surrounding this center, and then press onto the canvas. Participants chose the colors they wanted to use.

Here is the sample that was provided to them:

And here are the finished works of art:

It's always so much fun to see how differently they all turn out!

RPG Alliance: Shadowdark RPG

Starting this summer, and offered every two weeks on Tuesday night from 4:45 PM to 7:30 PM. In the Shadowdark RPG, you and your group of crawlers use magic, steel, and wits to delve into mysterious ruins, lost cities, and monster-infested depths. Wondrous treasures and long-forgotten secrets await you! The first 15 minutes will be spent making characters, followed by an adventure into the Shadowdark. Pre-mades will be provided. 

RPG Alliance: SRP Event - Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid

Every year the Milton Library hosts Summer Reading themed RPG events and this year is no different. For Color Our World, you’ve been selected as the newest Ranger in the multiversal fight of good vs evil. New and old enemies attack the Morphing Grid, and the Rangers are under assault. Can you and your new friends save the day, or is the Grid doomed? This three-day event will teach you the basics of the E20 RPG system and take you from level 1 to 3. 

Events are part of the RPG Alliance series, funded by the Friends of the Milton Library. For more information and to register, visit the Fulton County website and search RPG Alliance under events for a full listing of all our great upcoming events. 

Whether you're a seasoned adventurer or new to the world of role-playing games, these events offer a welcoming environment to explore, create, and connect. Don't miss out on the fun—reserve your spot today!

Last year the library gave away 75+ trees to local children to plant,- in 2023 we are giving away nearly 200 Southern Live Oak trees to families that preregistered for a tree. 

With the current closure of the Milton Library for the final restoration projects from our Christmas Day flooding, we are working on a plan to get the trees into your hands.  Look for emails from the Milton Library staff for options to pick up your tree sapling.
