Some of the daily challenges will be creative and some will be tips and tricks to help your community. To participate, log on to Creativebug through the Bozeman Public Library eLibrary page, search for the course, and watch chapters, do as much or as little of the course as you’d like then log into Zoom on Thursdays the 3rd and 17th at 6:30 to join others working their way through the course. |
