Join us for a Family FUN night with a crafty spin! Each month on the third Thursday, we'll gather in the main library for a family-friendly arts and craft activity.

This fun program is intended for kids age 5-10, but everyone is welcome! Each week is something different; it might be art, it might be crafts; could be Code-a-pillars and Beebots; or we might just play games.

Join us for a unique and peaceful experience as we celebrate the power of sound and stillness.
