Craft kits are a great way to explore a new hobby, give your creativity an outlet, relax, and take a break from screens! Bonus: you get to keep or give whatever you create. The library releases new craft kits at least once a month. Each kit contains instructions and most supplies needed to make the project. (Additional supplies such as scissors, glue, and pens may be required.)
Pick up a kit at the Adult and Teen Desk on the release date; kits are available only to Bloomfield Township residents, while supplies last!
