Adult Crafternoon |
|
 Calling all crafty people — and even those not so crafty but who just want to have some free fun.
Creative adults are invited to join us at the library for our monthly Adult Crafternoon designed just for you. We meet at 1 p.m. on a Wednesday afternoon each month in the meeting room and make a different craft each time. Attendees on Dec. 13 will have the opportunity to make a Rustic Holiday Tree. All supplies — and instruction — will be provided.
Please plan to join us each month. And if you have any ideas for upcoming crafts, please contact Adult Services Coordinator Amanda Johnson
with your suggestion. |
