Looking for community service hours, or just want to learn a new skill? Clark Memorial Library is partnering with the Warm Up America Foundation to provide warm blankets to those in need. The goal is to create 7″x9″ knit or crocheted squares that can later be joined together to make blankets of various sizes. These squares are a perfect size to practice your needlework! No prior experience is necessary – we will provide instruction and materials. Drop in to work with us on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 2:00 to 5:00 PM in July and August. For ages 10 and up.
Clark Memorial Library will be closed on Tuesday, July 4th, for Independence Day. We will open at 10:00 AM as usual on Wednesday, July 5th.
We hope you enjoy the holiday!
