Coming up on Thursday - we've got a craft program scheduled for the Teen Room! Our Young Adult Librarian, Erin, has a fun spring craft for teens to help break in the Craft Area of our library's new Teen Room and to maybe de-stress a bit from end of school year chaos.

Those in grades 7 - 12 are welcome to join us for a Faux Mosaic Crafternoon on Thursday, May 21st from 3:30—4:30 PM.

Registration is not required, though helpful for those who would like to attend. You can register by heading to our events calendar on our webpage: needhamlibrary.org/events . All materials necessary to complete a project with a canvas, paper, tissue paper, mod podge, and brushes will be provided.

Any questions? Feel free to reach out through email to Erin at neeya@undefined @ minlib.net

Hope you can join us!
