Library offers fun free program for all ages

Thirty-five people attended the library’s Jewelry Design program on Monday. Librarian Sandra Brautigam said, “The program now continues as a maker-space type program where children can come to the library, use the jewelry tools and take home materials to continue their design work. They get the jewelry and the library gets a photo.”

The Writer’s Club did not meet this week but will be back on Monday at 12:30 p.m. Anyone attending the first time should write something about their special place and bring it to the library.

The library has two upcoming contest, Fashion Design and Solution Design. Information for each contest is available at the library. The Fashion Design Contest involves participants designing a fashion for their stuffed animal or Barbie like doll. Once the design is made, the participant takes a picture of it and sends it to canyonlakelibrary@rivlib.net or bings it to the library. The photos will be placed on the library’s Facebook page and the one with the most likes will win a JoAnn’s gift certificate.
