Community Calendar

Join us in the Children's Room for music, movement, stories, and more, for children and their caregivers. Families welcome!

Join us at Libby Library in OOB for a new recurring program that will let your crafty side loose! Starting this October, we’ll be hosting Crafternoons on the first and third Friday at from 1:00 – 3:00 pm! This program is designed for adult crafters.

On the first Friday of the month, we’ll be doing a guided craft with instruction to make projects and learn techniques like decoupage and scrapbooking. On the third Friday of the month, there will be no guided project. It will be time to work on your own crafty projects (bring your supplies!) in the company of other crafters!

We will also be establishing a craft swap shelf with this program, so if you’ve got leftover supplies from crafts that no longer hold your interest, you are more than welcome to bring them with you to the library for other crafters to try out!

This program is free, open to the public, and no registration is required.

This workshop will take place at a small homestead in Albion, ME, where pastures are managed on a tight rotational grazing plan.

There will be plenty of time for questions.
