Learning Journey…A Library Journaling Adventure

On this adventure, readers of all ages will follow their self-selected interests and questions and track their learning journeys. 

The world is a fascinating place with lots to explore.  What’s your interest?  Come explore the interest that’s unique to YOU!

  • exploring trends in your pleasure reading?
  • seeking successful business tips?   
  • writing poetry?
  • experimenting with digital photography?
  • developing financial literacy skills?
  • discovering dinosaurs?
  • …the possibilities are endless!

Attend the Learning Journey programs to learn and share ideas for keeping a reading journal and create a portfolio of your learning experiences in a way that is fun, useful, and memorable for you. 
The programs will cover portfolio crafts and scrapbooking along with writing and journaling. 
Librarians will support your exploration of your learning paths. 
In Program A, we’ll get you started!   Share your learning journey and the creative ways you are making it memorable in Program B.

Your participation will help us demonstrate that:

  • learning is a continuing experience, and journaling helps us to strengthen and build on previous experiences 
  • the library plays an essential role in contributing to an individual’s lifelong learning journey
  • lifelong learning is fun!
