Hey, Fiber Fans!

Come join us for Library Loops, a monthly book club where we try out books about knitting, crocheting, and fiber crafting. This time, our focus will be on crochet, but you can bring any project you like and craft with us! At the end we’ll talk about whether we liked the books we reviewed, if it was easy to follow, and everyone can check some books out to take home with them.

Registration required.

Ages 15 and up.
