Medicine Hat Public Library lists five September events for all ages
Programs this month range from a mental health workshop to a Dungeons & Dragons one-shot, with registration available online for several sessions.
The Medicine Hat Public Library has announced five featured programs for September 2026, covering topics from mental health to gaming and art. The month opens Sept. 8 with "Beyond the Mirror: Body Image and Mental Health," an adults-only session at 6 p.m. run in partnership with Medicine Hat Family Service and the Recovery College, exploring body image, self-talk and mental wellbeing.
On Sept. 12, the library hosts an all-ages community art project from 12 to 5 p.m. where visitors can paint a bookend inspired by reading, in collaboration with the Esplanade Arts & Heritage Centre's Art in Motion. The finished pieces will be displayed throughout the library's stacks.
Younger patrons have two options later in the month: a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tournament for tweens aged 10 to 12 on Sept. 17 at 6 p.m., and a beginner-friendly Dungeons & Dragons one-shot for ages 13 to 19 on Sept. 19 at 10:30 a.m., held with Pop Up Parks and including premade characters and dice.
The month closes with the Prairie Pride Book Club on Sept. 22 at 6:30 p.m., an all-ages discussion held with the Prairie Pride Guild. September's selection is Madeline Miller's "Circe," with copies available at the Information Desk starting Sept. 1 while supplies last. Registration for several events is available at mhpl.info/register.
