As our community bounces back to what is familiar, Avondale Public Library returns with a number of fun events scheduled. As always, its programs will require reading to win prizes, and will also include a number of interactive craft projects and takeaways.

 

 

Avondale is well-known for always engaging with its young visitors, and for the talents of the staff that often extend past the normal. Its librarians have extensive skills and talents that surprass their job duties. For example, Ms. Cas is skilled in theatre make-up and costuming, and applies those skills for face-painting booths during events at the library.

 

 

FUN WITH FELT – COLLABORATION WITH BIB & TUCKER SEW-OP

 

 

 

This fun and interactive program invites the little ones, ages 6 months and up, to explore the incredible art of sewing! Developed for the youngest makers, children will certainly find joy through this kinesthetic experience that will teach them a fun art skill that can serve them for a lifetime.

 

Fun with Felt takes place at the Avondale Public Library every 2nd Tuesday of the month from 10:30 a.m. until 11:20 a.m., and space is limited. Be sure to register your cutie-pie in advance by calling the Avondale Youth Department at 205-226-4000, or send an email to ellen.griffin@cobpl.org.
