Introducing our Adult "Grab and Go" Monthly Craft Each month, we will provide a Grab and Go Craft Bag with most of the materials you'll need to create a unique craft. As much as we'd love to, we cannot provide any equipment you might need (glue guns, scissors, paper cutters, etc). Bags will include directions for the craft, as well as a picture of the finished product. Please register so that we have an idea of how many bags to prepare. Bags will be available while supplies last. We hope you enjoy our new adventure! Please let us know if you have any suggestions for future Grab and Go Craft bags! You can email Wendy (wmcananama@agawamlibrary.org) or Cher (ccollins@agawamlibrary.org) |
