Do you knit/crochet/craft? Please join us for our weekly meeting of the Knotty and Nice Club. We meet for 2 hours and socialize while working on our own projects or community charity projects. Please note that this is not a class but people are always available to help you if you need a LITTLE help. If you have never knitted or crocheted, the library offers many books and a few DVDs to learn. You can find many helpful videos on YouTube as well.
Adults
Come join us to turn books into beautiful pieces of art just by folding the pages inside. Books will be provided but feel free to bring your own hardback book, preferably at least 300 pages long (the more pages the better!). *Supplies are limited; registration is required. This event is for adults only.

This class is for people who already know a little about using a computer and want to learn how to design custom projects in Canva and bring them to life using a Cricut cutting machine. Over 6 weeks, we will practice navigating Canva’s easy design tools, working with fonts and shapes, and learning the "secret" to moving your designs into the Cricut software to create professional-looking items like personalized cards, vinyl decals, and gift tags.
