Teens Try: Making Plarn

Tuesday, April 18
03:30 pm to 04:30 pm

Join us to learn how to make plastic yarn (plarn) with staff at the library! While we encourage teens to bring their own bags (literally), some plastic bags will be available to upcycle.

Once plarn is made, we'll go over the basics of how to crochet or knit with it!

This program is free and open to teens aged 13-18.

Ages:
Teens 13 to 18

CraftQuest: Upcycled T-Shirt Tote Bags

Wednesday, April 19
03:30 pm to 04:30 pm

Tweens aged 8-12 are invited to join us for monthly crafting afternoons!

Bring your own used t-shirt and turn it into a simple tote! This month we're focusing on ways to recycle and reuse old items to celebrate and recognize Earth Day 2023.

If you don't have your own shirt to upcycle, we will have limited supplies available!

This program is free and drop in, all supplies provided.

Ages:
Tweens 9 to12
