Make something on a weekday afternoon

Papercraft Projects is Tuesday, Oct. 27, from 2:30 to 4 p.m. in the Conference Room. The library asks people to bring scrapbooks, journals, collages, zines, or another papercraft, and it supplies materials for new pages. Registration is required.

Intro to 3D Printing is Wednesday, Oct. 28, from 2 to 3 p.m. in the Computer Lab. The listing says it is a first look at the basics and at making an item to print, and registration is required. The same listing also shows sessions on Wednesday, Nov. 4, and Wednesday, Nov. 18.

That Nov. 4 hour is shared with a different class. Fort Bend County Library Digital Resources & Services is also Wednesday, Nov. 4, from 2 to 3 p.m. in the Computer Lab, for ages 14 and up. That one covers the library's digital resources, including the Houston Chronicle and Consumer Reports, and how to print at the library. Registration is required, and it is not the 3D-printing session.

Writers' Workout is Thursday, Nov. 5, from 2 to 3 p.m. in the Conference Room, for ages 14 and up. The library describes a prompt, 30 to 45 minutes of uninterrupted writing, and a short reflection afterward. Registration is required.

After school for grades 4–8

Creative Connections is a ticketed series for grades 4 through 8. Friends of the Fulshear Branch Library provides the materials. Free tickets are handed out at the Youth Services desk starting at 5:15 p.m., and space is limited.

Thursday, Nov. 5, from 6 to 7 p.m. is Magic Picture Frame, a frame that shows two pictures. That listing says youth programs are temporarily in the Middle Grades corner because elections are using the Meeting Room.

Thursday, Nov. 12, from 6 to 7 p.m. is a DIY Robot Hand in the Meeting Room. Kids build a hand from paper, straws, and yarn to see how fingers move.

A Monday doubleheader

Fulshear Foodies: Family Favorites is 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Meeting Room. It is the branch's potluck and cookbook club. People share recipes they tried and dishes they brought.

Dungeons and Dragons for Teens is 5 to 7 p.m. in the Multipurpose Room, for grades 9 through 12. New players are welcome. Registration is required, and it opens Monday, Oct. 26, at 10 a.m.
