At the Libraries

Future babysitters, take note: The East Hampton Library will hold a three-hour training course for grades six through nine, teaching the skills necessary to take on the responsibility of caring for young children. A course certification will be provided for those who take part in the workshop, which is scheduled for Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m.

Kids 4 and older can explore the work of the architect Frank Lloyd Wright and try their hands at Navajo sand-painting this week at the library. Tomorrow at 4, youngsters will have the chance to design and build a model structure inspired by the famous architect, using natural materials. On Tuesday at 4, they can use sticks, rocks, sand, and glue to make a Navajo-style work of art. Advance registration is required for all programs.

On Saturday, Sarah Shepherd, known as the Island Herbalist, will bring her know-how to the Amagansett Library, where she will lead families with kids 3 to 12 in making an herbal craft at 3:30 p.m.

Corn husks will be the tool of choice during a painting workshop for ages 4 and up at the Hampton Library in Bridgehampton tomorrow. On Tuesday, kids the same age will use tissue paper and water to make a work of art. Both programs begin at 4:30 p.m.
