A baking class, a superhero quiz and a mountain-safety talk are among Sno-Isle Libraries’ December programs you can join from home. Five upcoming online sessions offer options for adults, teens and families, with registration handled through the library’s event calendar.
Here is what each program offers and what to check before signing up.
For a winter outing: avalanche awareness
Thursday, Dec. 3, 4–5:30 p.m. Winter Travel with Northwest Avalanche Center is an introductory class for adults and teens. Instructors will explain where to find avalanche and mountain-weather forecasts and how to recognize basic signs of avalanche danger. Registration closes at 3:50 p.m., ten minutes before the class begins. It will not be recorded.
For curious kids and adults: the Space Race
Thursday, Dec. 10, 3:30–4:30 p.m. Race to the Moon: The Space Race in the Kennedy Era uses NASA images, oral histories and other historical material to explore the competition and people behind the Moon missions. The intended audience is students in grades 2–12 and adults, making it one option for a shared family afternoon.
For a closer look at technology and rights
Tuesday, Dec. 15, 6–7 p.m. AI, Civil Rights, and the Fight for a Just Future features Shankar Narayan discussing how artificial intelligence and major technology companies affect rights, equity and justice. The library lists this talk for adults. It will not be recorded.
For your holiday kitchen: sweet and savory tarts
Wednesday, Dec. 16, noon–2 p.m. Rustic Winter Tarts with King Arthur Baking School covers an apple-pear crostata and a savory potato tart, using a pastry dough that needs no special tart pan. The listing links a recipe you can look over beforehand. The program is intended for adults and will not be recorded.
For a family game night: comic-book trivia
Wednesday, Dec. 16, 7–8 p.m. Online Family Trivia: Comic Book A-Listers turns superheroes, villains and secret identities into a team challenge. The library suggests having a young person on each team. For a team sharing one screen, only one person needs to register; teams joining from separate households should have someone in each household register.
How to join
Use the event links above to register and check the latest details. The library says Zoom links arrive by email about 24 hours beforehand. If you register within that final day, the confirmation email includes the link. The library’s Zoom guide explains how to join and where to get help with a missing link.
For a sign-language interpreter, the individual event listings ask you to submit a request or contact your library at least two weeks ahead. Interpreters depend on availability; the request form is linked from each event page.
