This Diwali, join us for a hands-on craft workshop where we will paint and decorate beautiful Jharokha-style candle holders using sustainable materials, led by Dipali Dewan of OTB Handmadecrafts. A Jharokha is a distinctive architectural feature of Indian palaces and havelis—an ornate overhanging window or balcony that allowed royalty to view festivities while remaining unseen. Beyond their practical use, Jharokhas became a symbol of beauty, artistry, and craftsmanship in Indian culture. Their intricate designs often featured arches, carvings, and vibrant colors, reflecting the grandeur of India’s architectural heritage. In this workshop, we will bring that same sense of tradition and artistry into our craft. Each participant will create their own candle holder inspired by the Jharokha design—perfect for celebrating the Festival of Lights. Whether you are new to Indian culture or simply enjoy exploring creative crafts, this workshop is a wonderful way to experience the spirit of Diwali while making something beautiful to take home. All materials will be provided. No prior art experience required—just bring your creativity! This program is for adults over the age of 18. Space is limited, registration is recommended. Walk-ins will be accommodated as space permits. Coronado Public Library on Facebook / Instagram

"Red Light Winter" by Pulitzer Prize finalist Adam Rapp is an unflinching exploration of desire, intimacy, and the fragility of human connection. The story begins with two friends - Matt, a struggling writer, and Davis, a charismatic ladies’ man - who escapes to Amsterdam for a night of hedonistic adventure. There they meet Christina, a young woman whose presence shifts the balance of their friendship and ignites a triangle of passion, betrayal, and longing. What begins as a fleeting encounter in a red-light district hotel spirals into a meditation on loneliness, obsession, and the lingering power of memory. Bold, provocative, and heartbreakingly human, "Red Light Winter" asks: what do we risk in pursuit of love? Strong Adult and Sexual Content.
