Craft Classes

The Craft Classes this year were offered free of charge thanks to the generous donations from the local community.   Children enrolled in the classes (space is limited) attend a class once a week where they will make a special craft, read related books and have a lot of fun!

(The Craft Classes are full.  Call the library to be put on a waiting list.)

Sand Paper Drawings

There are so many wonderful things that you can do with sand: make a castle, bury your little brother, dig for treasure, make footprints, create sculptures, or just squish it between your toes.  This week we used colored sand to create our own drawings, and they turned out wonderfully!
