We hope you mark this on your calendars and tell your friends.Our librarians and volunteers will be taking signups for our first month of demonstrations and introductory programs. Over the months ahead we will be offering a lot of programs designed to put creative skills in your hands. Our current plans include:
- Kitchen Arts: Herb infusion techniques, Pickling, Dehydrator Basics
- 3D Printing: Intro to 3D Printing, Basic 3D Design, TinkerCAD, Sculptris
- Garden Arts: Composting, Limited Space Gardening

This is just a small sample of what we will be presenting the public. Various new programs and workshops are in development, and we will have our summer schedule in place at our June 7th Launch.
We hope to see you and your friends there! Spread the word!
