Stop by the Beekley to create a masterpiece! Each week the Children’s Room tables will be filled with supplies so you can create a treasure to display in your room. School supplies, along with an array of arts and crafts supplies, will be provided to use while in the library. A suggested project will be recommended, but feel free to “color outside of the lines.” Each week will feature different tools and techniques, so come on down to check it out! Coloring pages and crayons are also provided. This is a perfect activity to meet up for a play date, too!
