All ages are invited to participate; however, we ask that an adult comes with a child to pick up their kit. If you register for a kit, we do ask that you agree to return your art piece to the library no later than closing on May 1st. The theme for the Adult Reading Club this year is - Reading Colors Your World! So we are encouraging you to get creative and show your colors. It doesn't matter if you are an amateur or a skilled artist. The artwork will not be judged, we just want to show off the creative side of our community. Thanks to the Friends of the Library, the art kit is free. Check this event on our online calendar for more information and to register for a kit.
