🎨👜 Get ready to get creative with us!

Join us on Friday, April 24th at 4:30 PM as we paint our very own canvas totes — perfect for carrying your library books (or anything else you’d like to tote around town 😉).

We’ll provide the supplies — you bring the creativity! This is a fun, relaxed program where you can design something totally unique and leave with a custom bag made by YOU.

Spots may be limited, so be sure to come early! We can’t wait to see what you create! 🎉✨
