Craft Corner: Spooky Jars
Craft Corner
Craft Corner is an all-ages, intergenerational program that brings the community together to create projects throughout the year. With a focus on using different materials and upcycling when possible, each craft is designed to appeal to kids, teens, and adults. Bring your family or neighbors for some hands-on fun! If you'd like, you can even bring your own materials to make the planned craft or create something uniquely your own.
Let's have fun making glowing creepy crawly jars! Bring an empty, clean jar from home, or use our upcycled jars.
Haunted Trails Tales in the Dark
Get ready for some spooky stories after dark! Join us outside the library for a series of light fright stories and fun.
Best for preschool and elementary age kids. Costumes encouraged.
