It’s National Button Week! To celebrate we are making a button wreath…here is what you will need. Buttons (of course) of various sizes, colors, and shapes, along with glue (we will be using E6000), and a Styrofoam wreath. If you don’t have enough buttons to cover the whole wreath, you can always use yarn or ribbon to wrap around the empty spaces.
Enjoy a cup of coffee, relax, and color. During your visit, chit-chat and make a new friend.
Paint your own ceramic teapot. Add your own flare to these small teapots that can be used to plant small succulent plants or place small trinkets in them once they have dried.
April showers will bring more than just May flowers. April 3rd is National Find a Rainbow Day. Rainbows are caused by the reflection, refraction, and dispersion of light in water, resulting in a visual spectrum of light appearing in the sky. You don’t have to go chasing rainbows on this day, like Kermit the Frog said, “Rainbows are visions, they’re only illusions, and rainbows have nothing to hide.” Visit the library with your friends and make your own rainbow that you can view anytime you want. Here’s what you will need: a circle out of card stock or light cardboard, paper, embroidery floss (about 7 colors), glue, and scissors. For a more visual tutorial look up Jellyfish Friendship Bracelets.
Happy Golfer’s Day, celebrate by playing with your friends and spreading the joy of the game. Fun Fact: According to Facts.net, golf was the first sport played on the moon. Apollo 14 commander and golfer Alan Shepard decided to leave a lasting mark before leaving the Moon. Shepard swung at two golf balls on the moon, one of which he claimed went on for miles, and eventually landed in a crater called the “Javelin.”
Come play BINGO, meet new people, and win prizes!
Celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Month with us by learning Origami and a few historical facts behind this Japanese paper-folding art form. This is a great way to improve fine motor and coordination skills. Square sheets of paper and origami folding instructions will be provided.

Happy Sherlock Holmes Day! Put your thinking cap on, brush off those magnifying glasses, and help us solve a (pretend) murder mystery by playing the game CLUE.
Visit the library to learn about plants and flowers that grow in our area and their importance to the local wildlife and environment. Patrons are encouraged to bring their own small plant or seed packet to trade. You will also get to decorate your own small clay pot to take home and plant flower seeds of native plants. If you’re at home and would like to participate, share a brief video or written statement of some of your favorite plants and how to care for them through email or tag us on Facebook.
