Connect While You Create
Art at the Library consists of art and crafting events such as painting, printmaking, and making your own tea bags. We encourage people to learn by doing and hope to provide an open and safe environment for participants to try new things!
Open to both teens and adults. Most events include snacks and tea.
Upcoming Crafting Events
Paint Like Bob Ross
Join us for evenings of painting! We will watch one of Bob Ross' The Joy of Painting videos each evening and attempt to follow along with the instructions. We will use acrylics and a smaller canvas so you can take it home at the end of the event. Snacks and tea will be served. For teens and adults. Event takes place in the Dunaway Community Room.
These events are not classes; we encourage people to learn through trial and error and use our resources to guide them.

Crafting at the Library
Join us in the Library Lab for a rotating monthly craft program on the first Saturday of the month from 3:00pm to 5:00pm. The activity will be different each month, so stop by, explore, play, and learn new skills! Supplies may be limited, so each session is first come, first served.
