Anime Clubanime
Monday, August 4, 4 - 5:30 p.m.

Join us every month in Meeting Room A to hang out with other people who love anime as we watch shows and eat Japanese snacks. If you have your own anime-style or manga artwork, bring it to show off!

Anime Club meets the first Monday of each month throughout the year. Mark your calendars for the next meeting on September 8! (September's meeting is on the second Monday because of Labor Day.)
 
Marion RePurpose Club
Hot For RePurposing!
Tuesday, August 19, 6 - 8 p.m.

The Marion RePurpose Club meets monthly on the third Tuesday (September will be on the fourth Tuesday). 

In August, you can choose from one or more projects:

1) Make a trivet out of tile.  (Bring a 3"x5" or 4"x6" image.)
 

2) Another tile trivet project - attach small tiles onto a larger tile.  
 

3) Pallet wood signs. 
 

This fun intergenerational crafting and repurposing evening is offered by Habitat for Humanity's ReStore staff. Yvette and Deb bring their fun and creativity to the Marion Library, along with all the stuff you need to repurpose leftovers, bits, and pieces into cool and unique things that you can really use.
 

Because of our space constraints, and to help Deb and Yvette know how many supplies to bring, registration is required.

 

There is a small materials fee ($5/adult, $3/under 16) which may be paid at the program.
