Fiber Arts



A few years ago we started a tradition and it has become part of our summer reading program. We have participated in World Wide Knit in Public Day (more info here). We invite all ages and skill levels to come work on their fiber arts and hang out at the library. We talk about books and current events while we knit, crochet, embroider, cross stitch, or even hand sew. 

 Library patrons knitting and crocheting in the middle of the first floor of the library as they celebrate World Wide Knit in Public Day.

This also inspired us to have some fiber art groups that meet at the library. We have Knifty Knitting -Crazy Crocheting, which meets every Wednesday at 4pm. This group is mostly for children or those who are learning the skills. Then we also have Spin a Good Yarn that meets twice a month on Thursday evenings. This group is for adults and we also talk about books while we work on our projects.
