All Ages Maker Lab

People of all ages are welcome to be a part of this amazing, and educational program. You will even be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor. The Seed Program is going to be at the library year round. We will have planters inside and outside. There will be two planters inside, one for classes and one for our community to come in and take a little of what they’d like. Some of the herbs/veggies will be used for kids cooking classes this summer also. We will be asking several people to take part in saving seeds to bring back to the library so that we don’t have to make annual seed purchases and may continue using non GMO seeds. I am soooo excited about this!!! Jason Frank and Gabby Johnson will be teaching these classes. There is no limit to how many would like to sign up, HOWEVER, you do need to register to participate. Thank you.

Open Crafting in the Library

THIS THURSDAY, Feb. 24 from 4-6 pm! Get ready for Open Crafting in the library! There are no instructors for this craft, only the supplies, instructions, and the imaginations the kids bring. I decided to make one today to show as an example and was pleasantly surprised how much fun it was for even an adult! Bring in the kids and let them enjoy making as many maps until our supplies run out!

WE HAVE OPENINGS!! SIGN UP NOW!!

Both Christy Puetz and Jason Frank invite you to join their class on Thursday, February 12th at 6 pm in the Community room. Christy will be teaching glass painting using special paint and stencils. She will provide glass jars; however, if you have glassware at home that you’d like to bring, she encourages you to do so. Jason will be teaching you the art of making beeswax candles. The candles can be made during the drying stages of the glass painting. Children under the age of 8 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. This is a free class made possible by the MN Legacy Funding program. You may want to sign up soon as seating is limited.
