What comes to mind when you think about doing arts and crafts? Does it conjure up memories of childhood coloring books, pasta necklaces, fingerpaints, or hand-traced Thanksgiving turkeys?
Arts and crafts aren’t just for children. In fact, crafting can be quite creative and therapeutic to all age groups and abilities.
Whether you choose to craft alone or share your time with others, Poudre Libraries is the space to be crafty!
