Wednesday Workshops At the Library
June 10-July 29, 10:00 a.m. - noon

In celebration of Be Creative @ Your Library, Cole Library will be hosting Wednesday Morning workshops from 10:00 a.m. - noon. These workshops are for ages 8+. Each workshop will focus on different art elements. Due to the complexity of each workshop we are limiting the enrollment to 12 participants. In June we will be working with fiber arts. Each child must commit to all three Wednesdays because they build upon each other. Call 895-4271 to reserve your spot!
