There is usually so much going on at your local public library!
Bluey just started taking a quilting class at our branch, and it is a tremendous experience! He loves playing with patterns and trying to make his own designs (cats, natch!). He gets to share and learn with a dozen or so kids from the neighborhood. Bluey is learning how to operate an electric sewing machine. And when he’s finished, he’ll bring home a small quilt that he designed and made. What a great program!
He gets so much out of this class– and it’s all free!!
A team of neighborhood quilters are in charge- bringing in samples of quilts, talking about patterns, and helping kids run the sewing machine. It is a real community endeavor and a great opportunity for young and old to meet their neighbors.
Our local library offers classes for people of all ages in all manner of subjects- art, literature, computers, foreign languages- you name it! Most libraries around the country offer similar programs and they are all typically free of charge.
So take a minute to check your library’s bulletin board or website to see what new adventures await you and your family!
