Crafternoon Hangout: New for Tweens & Teens Ages 10 - 18

Arts and crafts offer tweens and teens so much more than just a fun way to pass the time: they provide a powerful outlet for self-expression, emotional growth, and stress relief. Creating art builds confidence, boosts self-awareness, and encourages innovation and problem-solving in a hands-on, joyful way. It also fosters cultural understanding and can even enhance academic performance. For some, it may spark a lifelong passion or even a future career path, making creativity a truly valuable part of growing up.

With all of that in mind, we'd like to invite all tweens and teens ages 10 - 18 to our new Crafternoon Hangout, taking place at the Hays School on 1 Maple Street beginning on Tuesday, September 23rd from 4 - 5pm! Each month, our Teen Services Librarian will facilitate the meeting and making of a new craft activity, with all materials provided & no RSVP needed! For further information about the Crafternoon Hangout, please contact Emily Kalotai, Teen Services Librarian, at ZWthbG90YWkgfCBoYWdhbWFubGlicmFyeSAhIG9yZw==.
