Thursday 7/30: Build-a-beetle- Create your own colorful beetle masterpiece! Using cut paper shapes, bright colors, and layered designs, build a bold bug inspired by nature's tiny treasures. Please note: some activities may be messy, please dress accordingly. We will have some child-sized aprons available. Space and supplies are limited; these classes are first-come, first-served. Tickets will be available before the start of each program. These activities are designed for ages 6 and older. Library staff may take photos, videos, or audio recordings at our events.
