We had a really good turnout for our craft time at the library. We used frying pan splatter screens and made some cute fall wreaths out of them. We will plan another craft time at the library soon. Misti Moore has volunteered to teach how to make beaded bracelets. Once we get a date and time we will share it through social media and this column.
