At this Chat & Craft, we’ll be discussing how to choose colors for your projects! We’ll also be going over quick embroidery, and we’d love to have you join us!
We meet from 6 to 8 pm on the first Tuesday of every month, currently in Community Room West (the large room at the end of the Bramlage and Willcoxon Foundation Gallery).
Feel free to also bring a project to work on during the meeting – that’s half the fun!
Do you have a closet full of unfinished projects? Have you gone to the craft store “just to look around” and found yourself leaving with an armload of goodies? Got a project you’re muddling through? Did you just pick up a new hobby — and now you’re dying to show it off?
Why don’t you join us at Chat & Craft?
We meet from 6 to 8 pm on the first Tuesday of every month, currently in Community Room West (the large room at the end of the Bramlage and Willcoxon Foundation Gallery).
On February 1st we are doing Show and Tell; bring in your big, intricate, or time-consuming project you want to show off, and maybe tell us a bit about it.
Feel free to also bring a project to work on during the meeting – that’s half the fun!

Explore your inner artist with the Children’s Department!
Children ages 8-12 will meet to learn new art techniques and make their own pieces to take home!
Get creative with paint, canvas, and masking tape! Another Teen Takeout Kit is here–starting Saturday, Jan. 29, at 10:00am, kits are available in the Teen Department or through curbside pickup. Supplies are limited, so grab one before they’re gone!

Dog Day Afternoon is designed to help newly independent readers become more comfortable reading! Children will have the opportunity to read to one of our sweet therapy dogs and their owner in a quiet, non-threatening environment (each child will read for approximately 6 minutes, though the exact time depends on the number of therapy dogs and children in attendance).
