Teen Volunteer Drop-In: Knitting Blanket Squares Tuesday 12/11 from 6 PM—7:30 PM and Thursday 12/27 from 6 PM—7:30 PM
The Teen Volunteer Drop-In is a monthly event where teens can earn community service hours doing a good deed for the library or another organization. Unlike other library volunteer opportunities, this program does not require signing up ahead of time. This month, we will knit blanket squares to send to Warm Up America. You do not need prior knitting experience -- our staff will teach you at the workshop. This workshop is limited to the first 10 teens who arrive. If you are able to bring your own knitting needles, we can take extra people.
