Project Overview

Teen Makerpalooza will be a crafting/maker event for teens to dome to the library to create. There will be four sessions: Screen printing/canvas painting, metal stamping, string art, and magic folding cubes. Due to recognizing a decline in teen attendance, but also noticing they 'peek' in to adult craft events, this idea for a teen maker event is to bring teens in to the library with a craft event for them, and the outcome being they are frequent patrons.
