Adult Crafternoon |
|
 Calling all crafty people — and even those not so crafty but who just want to have some free fun.
Creative adults are invited to join us at the library for our monthly Adult Crafternoon designed just for you. We meet at 1 p.m. on a Wednesday afternoon each month in the meeting room and make a different craft each time. Attendees on May 8 will have the opportunity to make a decoupage flower pot. All supplies — and instruction — will be provided.
Please plan to join us each month. And if you have any ideas for upcoming crafts, please contact Adult Services Coordinator Amanda Johnson
with your suggestion. |

May title:
Tom Lake
by Ann Patchett
In the spring of 2020, Lara's three daughters return to the family's orchard in Northern Michigan. While picking cherries, they beg their mother to tell them the story of Peter Duke, a famous actor with whom she shared both a stage and a romance years before at a theater company called Tom Lake. As Lara recalls the past, her daughters examine their own lives and relationship with their mother. |
