Ninety-one children and adults attended the library’s third week of Crafts for Kids where they made camping lanterns, lazy ladybugs, and picked from an assortment of coloring pages about camping.
Monday there were sixty-seven children that came to Crafts for Kids at the library. They made fun S’more paper crafts, worked on activity and coloring pages, and enjoyed a treat.
