Summer and libraries naturally go together.
Start your summer off right with the following programs and resources.
Express your creativity and “embrace the bug” – Creativebug! Creativebug is the library’s digital resource for online art and craft education. There are thousands of video classes teaching arts and crafts. Crochet a sweater, learn flower arranging, and make jam – with your smart TV, computer, tablet, or phone. Log in with your library card and PIN.
