On Wednesday, November 4 at 6:30pm at Raleigh Park Elementary School, local artists and performers, Gerardo Calderón and Nelda Reyes of the group Nuestro Canto, will present an original storytelling performance about Mexico with masks, movement, and music.
Mexico is well known for legends, myths, and tales that speak about love, nature, and everyday life. Mexican stories originate both from the ancient times of the Aztecs, Mayans, Toltecs, and Hucholes, as well as from after the arrival of the Europeans to the American continent. Nuestro Canto tells stories from all over Mexico, and to further enhance the storytelling experience, they play music that they have composed especially for the tales that they tell during their performances.
No registration required and all ages are welcome.
This event is sponsored by the Friends of the West Slope Library.

Join us Saturday, November 21 from 12:30pm to 2:30pm at Raleigh Park Elementary for Make & Play, a fun game design workshop.
Participants will be given a brief introduction to game design and a handful of game pieces and then encouraged to create an original game from scratch. Game designers and publishers from the local design group Game Lab will be on hand to help brainstorm, playtest, and answer questions about board game design. By the end of the program, you will have a game prototype that you can take home with you to refine and play. Everyone will be able to take home an original game of their own making!
We will also have tables reserved in the library for playing board games 10:00am-3:00pm as part of International Games Day. Choose a title from our large lending library of board games or bring your own.
Door prizes of will be awarded at the Make & Play event and during open gaming at the library!

On Halloween weekend, West Slope Library will be screening the award-winning indie-thriller House of Last Things, which was filmed in the Raleigh Park neighborhood and directed by friend of the library Michael Bartlett.
From Ain’t It Cool News:
Utterly unconventional and capably done from top to bottom—from cinematography to acting, HOUSE OF LAST THINGS is definitely something you haven’t seen before.
Join us at 6:30pm on Friday, October 30 for this special, intimate screening. Admission is free and the director will be present for a Q&A after the film. Complimentary refreshments will be provided.
You can also find the House of Last Things on DVD in the WCCLS catalog.
