Last Crafts-to-Go

Pick up a Crafts-to-Go bag this Saturday, June 26! It’s the last one of the season.
Stay tuned for the Fall.

Starting at 12:30 (and until 2:00 or as long as supplies last) drop by the Books-to-Go pickup spot in the back by the parking lot and look for the purple cart!

Our last craft is another one with paper straws, this time building a minimalist airplane with straws & paper.

There will be at least 20 bags to give away. There’s no signup. They are available as long as supplies last!
