Week Calendar

He once stole Christmas from every Who

But became a good guy, it is true

We'll have a party for him this year

With a fun activities at the library here

So stop on by this December

For a great time you'll remember!

Do you like to craft but have too many distractions at home? Bring your projects to the Frenchtown-Dixie Library to work on them. Don't have a current project?

Do you love to color? Join us for some coloring fun! Bring your pencils, paint, markers or diamond painting and a fun attitude.

Bring your projects such as knitting, cross-stitch, or crochet work and be a part of our group! Join us on the first and third Thursday of every month to share your projects and a "common thread" with others!

Ida Library Crankers, a machine sock knitting group, meets once a month in the Ida Library Community Room. Everyone is welcome. Bring your sock knitting machine or come and learn about sock knitting with machines.

After School Adventures happens each Monday at the library!  Stop by after school for a variety of fun activities: building challenges, mindfulness practice, puzzles and art projects.  Each week will be something different! 

This program is centered on making DIY sugar scrub gifts for family and friends (or for yourself!).  You will leave with a scrub of your choice, a printed basic recipe that can easily be altered to your preferences, and some general tips.

Come to the library every first Tuesday of the month, October through May, for a fun activity!  We'll have an artsy project as well as a building activity or challenge.

Learn the basics of crocheting with materials provided or bring your own project to work on and enjoy the company of other crafty crochet club members!

The 12 Days of Christmas at the Ellis Library & Reference Center

On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: 

A HOLIDAY TREE CRAFT FOR TEENS 

(13 -19 years of age only) 

As the holiday season and holiday lights appear, get a better look at things with your own cushion holiday binoculars.  We will craft our set out of special tubing and hand decorate them to your own taste.

If you are a tween or teen who likes to craft, join us each month for a crafting night.  Come hang out with friends, enjoy some snacks, and test your creativity with a different project each month.

Join us on the First Thursday of the month to paint a project or a picture. This is a self-guided program. Please have an idea of a project you would like to paint.

This class is designed for beginning painters. I'm a self-taught artist excited to share what I've learned with you!

Enjoy visiting with Santa and making several crafts.  Finish off the evening with frosting and decorating a cookie.

This event is sponsored by The Friends of the Newport Library.
