We will have craft kits with instructions and all the materials you need available for a new craft each month. You can start working on it right then at the library, or take home a kit to try from home later! Each month we will pick a new type of craft. Some months are in-library-only, some months are take-home kits, most months are both. Have ideas for crafts you'd like to see, let us know! Registration is required.
