Maker Monday Crafternoons

One Monday a month, we'll be hosting a Maker Monday Crafternoon! Bring a friend and come by the media center to make something "bookish" as we recycle, repurpose, and create a fun new project that you can keep or give to someone special.

Dates and projects will be updated each month in the Google Calendar. Click the plus sign in the lower right of the calendar to add this calendar to your own so you never miss a date!

Scroll down to see our previous Crafternoons. If you were unable to attend, no worries! View our "how to" videos to learn how you can replicate the craft at home.
