Join us at the Free Library May 3 from 3:00-5:00 p.m. for a
special jewelry making event in honor of Mother's
Day, where we will explore the world of repurposing jewelry.

Do you have a previously loved but rarely worn piece, possibly from your mom? Or perhaps some broken jewelry, or just a piece or two that has "potential" but never seems to work with anything? Would you like to take these and make both a memory and a unique gift that is literally one of a kind?

Come with your mom or child, or on your own to make something
special for them or in honor of them.

Please RSVP to help us plan for supplies. Stop in to the library to sign up, call 603-353-9166 during library hours, or email
[email protected] to add your name(s) to the list!

We may need to limit attendees due to space constraints - if you are interested don't delay!
