Paint therapy and a fall sports preview are among the programs offered by Iola Public Library in August.

The month kicks off with the Intrepid Reader book discussion program at 2 p.m. Thursday.

The book selection is “Educated” by Tara Westover. Born to Mormon fundamentalist parents living off-grid in the mountains of Idaho, the author of this memoir first set foot in a classroom at age 17. Today, with a PhD from Cambridge, she describes the grief of severed ties and her struggle for self-invention. In doing so, she gets at the heart of what education offers: the ability to see life with new eyes and the will to change it.

Some down time and fun are offered at 6 p.m. Aug. 13 at “Paint Therapy Night.” Attendees will paint “wish flowers” step by step, while enjoying the company and chatting. They will take home their artwork at the end of the evening. Beverages and light snacks will be provided. Pre-registration and a fee of $10 are required by Aug. 6. The class is limited to 24 people.
