Children’s Craft will be Thursday, Aug. 4, at 3:30 p.m. It will be “Pencil Topper Pandemonium” as participants create everything from animals to aliens out of pipe-cleaners, googly-eyes, yarn, and stickers. Pencils are provided too!

Fridays in August will be Lego Days. Join the fun at 3 p.m. on Fridays, Aug. 5, 12, 19 and 26. Kids can unleash their creativity and their masterpieces will be displayed in the Library.
