Bethany and Cedar Mill libraries offer a full October lineup, with a Halloween hunt, a teen glass mosaic workshop and free citizenship classes across three locations.

The annual Bethany Village Halloween Hunt returns Saturday, Oct. 31, from 1 to 3 p.m. at Bethany Library, 15325 NW Central Drive, Suite J-8y. Visitors of all ages can drop by for a treat, according to the libraries' October programming calendar.

A standout for teens is a two-day Glass on Glass Mosaic workshop led by local artist Sharon Dunham. Day one runs Friday, Oct. 30, from 2 to 4 p.m., and day two picks up Saturday, Oct. 31, from 11 a.m. to noon, both at Cedar Mill Library. Teens ages 11 to 18 will cut glass shards, arrange them on plexiglass and apply grout to create a finished piece. Registration is required, and participants must attend both sessions.

Beyond the seasonal events, a free 12-week citizenship class is already underway at Bethany Library Annex, 4888 NW Bethany Blvd., Suite K-2. The Tuesday evening sessions, running through Dec. 15 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., are provided by SOAR Immigration Legal Services. Each week covers one topic to help adults prepare for the U.S. naturalization interview and exam. Classes are taught in English, with resources available in Spanish and other languages. Participants can attend one session or all of them.
