Take and Make Crafts

Each week we invite you to drop by the Library for a craft project you can take home and make. We’ll give you a bag filled with all the supplies you will need, instructions for how to make your craft and/or a picture of the final product. One bag per child while supplies last. “Take and Make” Crafts will be available for pickup during regular Library hours.

Take and Make Crafts will be available weekly beginning June 22 through August 14.
