The Uxbridge Free Public Library has a full lineup of adult, teen, and youth programs this October. Adults can join Gentle Flow Yoga, craft handmade cards, explore poetry with John Edward Keough, or learn to make a DIY aromatherapy spray and inhaler designed to promote better sleep. Teens and kids can enjoy creative workshops like paper mâché masks, pumpkin tea lights, henna art, celestial windchimes, and more.

Families won’t want to miss Candy Bar Bingo and Raptors in the Real World. Book clubs, storytimes, and drop-in crafts continue throughout the month.
