In the month of August, we hosted another two paint & sip classes led by Haley's Paintbrush. We have consistently been amazed by Haley's efforts to support a creative environment where everyone can thrive! Thank you to everyone who signed up for the program and showed up. We hope you had a colorful time! And thanks again to Haley, who this would not be possible without.

The library will plan to have Haley back in the month of October, so watch out for those sign-up dates!
