Summer Reading & Makerspaces

M A K E R S P A C E S??
What's that?? 

It's our old friend Crafternoons with a new twist!
Join us on these Wednesdays at 2pm:

June 24: bracelets with found stuff
use your brain to create bracelets, necklaces, or little sculptures with some stuff that we found around the Library!
 

July 9: monogrammed mugs
see the picture? super fun with sharpie pens, the color wheel and a mug!
 

July 22: personalized t-shirts
please bring a shirt that fits and one that will look great with some mathematical design elements. and don't forget that this one involves paint, so be sure to wear clothes that "could" get paint on them!
 

August 5: coptic stitched books
we have paper, but feel free to bring your favorite paper, fabric, embellishments, or whatever to make this hand-made book totally yours... with paper, thread, and needles!
 

August 19: doodled canvas wall art
more fun with the color wheel, design, and paint, so be sure to wear clothes that "could" get paint on them!  

More pictures are coming, but we want to start getting you excited about Summer Reading and Makerspaces. Summer Reading officially begins on Monday, June 1, but come in on Friday, May 29, for our Summer Reading Kick-off to stay ahead of the crowds, make-n-takes, door prizes, and snacks!
