Everybody needs a hobby. No matter how busy your life is, it helps to have a creative outlet to unwind with. If you are looking to try something new in the New Year, your Library has got you covered. While we always have plenty of books on our shelves covering everything from gardening to knitting to woodworking, this month every branch will have a display of some of their choice hobby books out so you can see what might catch your eye. You can also come visit us for one of our crafting programs. Here is a small sample of what is on offer this month. Check out the calendar on our website or contact your local branch to found out everything that is happening near you!
